Sorry, my mistake.  If you looked only in the .cc files, you wouldn't 
find it.  You have to look two places to find what is really 
happening.

Look in agent.h for the following prototype:

agent.h:  virtual void sendmsg(int nbytes, const char *flags = 0);    

Then in agent.cc you get the following start of a function definition:

agent.cc:void Agent::sendmsg(int /*nbytes*/, const char* /*flags*/)

If you don't provide a second argument, the compiled version will 
assume that it is NULL (the default value).  So this two argument 
method is the one that gets called if you provide only a single int 
as the parameter list.
