That's probably a buglet in the man page.

I guess it would be nice if the man page(s) mentioned that a firewall could
cause EPERM. I have seen it before with other apps but the sendto() confused
me.

Can someone shed light on what the problem is? The application appears to
work fine even with this error though.

man setsockopt, search for SO_BROADCAST.

It doesn't say anything about EPERM.
