There appears to be a Warn2 logging message in the code already, so it
shows up when you supply a -d argument to socat.

Maybe this should be switched to an error message so that it shows by
default?

Or maybe it should be a fatal error?  It seems potentially dangerous to
just push ahead with a truncated name, though.  what if the truncated
name already exists and is in use for something else?
