Did socket creation succeed?  mtr uses raw sockets and those can only be
created by admin users since XP.  Since Vista, you must also run the
application in an elevated shell.  I just tested to create such a socket
and getsockname works fine for me:

  bash$ cat > sockname.c <<EOF
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>

  int
  main (int argc, char **argv)
  {
    int fd;
    int ret;
    int val;
    socklen_t siz;
    struct sockaddr sa;

    fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 0);
    if (fd >= 0)
      {
	ret = getsockname (fd, &sa, (siz = sizeof sa, &siz));
	if (!ret)
	  printf ("family: %d\n", sa.sa_family);
	else
	  printf ("errno: %d (%s)\n", errno, strerror (errno));
	close (fd);
      }
    return 0;
  }
  EOF
  bash$ gcc -o sockname sockname.c
  bash$ ./sockname
  family: 2
