Understanding set/getsockopt SO_SNDBUF size doubles

Hi I have the following program to check the send buffer size for a UDP socket. However, I the return value is a bit confusing to me. I use the following simple app:

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 int sockfd, sendbuff;
 socklen_t optlen;

 sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
 if(sockfd == -1)
     printf("Error");

 int res = 0;

 // Get buffer size
 optlen = sizeof(sendbuff);
 res = getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &sendbuff, &optlen);

 if(res == -1)
     printf("Error getsockopt one");
 else
     printf("send buffer size = %d\n", sendbuff);

 // Set buffer size
 sendbuff = 98304;

 printf("sets the send buffer to %d\n", sendbuff);
 res = setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &sendbuff, sizeof(sendbuff));

 if(res == -1)
     printf("Error setsockopt");


 // Get buffer size
 optlen = sizeof(sendbuff);
 res = getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &sendbuff, &optlen);

 if(res == -1)
     printf("Error getsockopt two");
 else
     printf("send buffer size = %d\n", sendbuff);

 return 0;
}

The output on my machine is:

send buffer size = 129024

sets the send buffer to 98304

new send buffer size = 196608

Can anybody clarify what I'm doing wrong here or how to interpret the output?
