The existing code errors as EINVAL any attempt to set a value for
SO_PEERCRED via setsockopt() on an AF_UNIX/AF_LOCAL socket. But to
enable the workaround set_no_getpeereid behavior for Python one has
to be able to set SO_PEERCRED to zero. Ergo, this patch. Python has
no way to specify a NULL pointer for 'optval'.
This v2 of patch allows the original working (i.e., allow NULL,0 for
optval,optlen to mean turn off SO_PEERCRED) in addition to the new
working described above. The sense of the 'if' stmt is reversed for
readability.

Pushed
I created new developer snapshots for testing.
I didn't phrase my comment somewhere about "future snapshot TBA" as I had
intended. I just meant some future snapshot, not that I was requesting one for
this patch. But thank you very much anyway. I'll sort out with Marco whether the
Python end of the OP's issue patch should go into pythonX.X-test or pythonX.X
itself, separately. BTW The whole set of Python tests might serve to test Cygwin
in a manner we haven't seen|used yet...
Cheers,
