If you call a TTY ioctl on a socket, it might not work, don't
you think?

ioctl values are numbered in the namespace of the object they are
called upon, so an ioctl of value X can mean something different for a
TTY than it does for socket.

You're passing a garbage pointer to whatever socket ioctl happens
to be aliased to the same value as TCSBRK on your platform.
