Maybe, the header-length was meant to be compared with the message-length (m->m_len) -- such as to ensure, the message consists of nothing but header? Don't know -- but the current code, faithfully copied by both NetBSD and FreeBSD, makes no sense. I can not find this part in OpenBSD at all...
It would also seem, the function's second argument (socket) could use
const
-qualifier. The function-describing comment could stand English-grammar fixes too.
