Okay, with the programs below, and after some whitespace fixes, I see
the following diff of the servers, which sounds reasonable:

And the programs behave as reported when adding -4.

Why use IPPROTO_UDP?  ip(7)'s SYNOPSIS uses 0.  Are there any other
protocols available with (AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)?

Now about the patch, it seems to miss IP_RETOPTS, which is also handled
in ip_cmsg_recv_offset()?  Or am I missing something?

Please resend the programs when you send v2 of the patch, not send the
client programs, and show a diff of both programs.

Have a lovely day!
