Ah, thanks. I guess I didn't see the wood for the trees anymore.

Would it be possible, to update the sendto(2) manpage to include
this important hint?

I'm using select and now it's not only the client, which times out
anymore, but also the server. So maybe it's not a resource limit...

Hm, where do I find the file containing sendto()?
By a quick search I only found src/lib/libc/net/send.c which calls 
sendto() itself.

Can I just use printf in the kernel?

Thanks
Chris
