Public bug reported: Under kernel 3.2.0-54 and 3.9.3 (at least), the accept() system call in a PF_LOCAL, AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM context returns an addrlen for the sockaddr_un structure that is too large by one.
As the SUN_LEN macro of the sys/un.h header shows, the "length" of the structure is expected to be the strlen() of the sun_path member, plus that member's offset. This is the length used by bind() and connect(), in particular. But accept() consistently returns a "length" which includes the trailing null, and is thus too large by one.
