more socket stuff

i was just playing around with the sockets in an attempt to better understand
them when i found this.

i have a very simple client and server. the server is written in perl and was
just there to print whatever the client sent it, and i works fine. However,
when i send it the same data from the C app, i just messes me round. Below is
the output from the two commands.

telnet:
	NICK aurora aurora aurora aurora aurora
	USER aurora

C app:
	USER aurora aurora aurora aurora aurora
	À4@`?@aé@?@`7å@9@1@À4@?ôÿ¿Ç@ÑÅ@Ð6@`óÿ¿ÐBè1@JBè1@rocr/ÐBx4@¸@è1@
