Yeah after talking to Michael, I fixed this and now it gets through
sctp_registerInstance without any hicups(including doing the initalisation
of the timer list)
It even does some sctp_associate stuff cause I get a association id back.
Will have a look if it doesn't do weird things. Next is hooking up another
PC running this stuff. (the PC ain't the problem, finding a jack that still
works is)

I prefer having predefined structs.
Need the converted IP address anyway caus it can be included in the SUA msg.
Doesn't really matter to me,works (and change was confined to a single file
pffft...)

Well, is solved.
