Can someone exactly explain why one cannot typecast a bio( ) to a UNIX
domain socket/IPC/fd?

What kind of source/sink BIO did you use? BIO_do_accept() is hardly
relevant for all of them. As far as I can tell (I've never done this
kind of operation myself), you need to create your BIO like this:
bio = BIO_new(BIO_s_accept());
When you've done that, you can do your BIO_set_fd() and
BIO_do_accept().
If this is what you've done, you may have found a bug. How about you
tell us exactly how it fails (give us a log, baasically), and perhaps
share a snippet of code that demonstrates the error?
Cheers,
Richard
