Description Yury G. Kudryashov 2010-02-25 15:51:27 UTC 
The test program to check for abstract socet namespace uses SUN_LEN() macros in bind() . This doesn't work because SUN_LEN uses strlen(), thus considering "\0/tmp/dbus-..." as empty. As a result, this program tries to connect to normal unix socket with pathname "" instead of abstract socket (look at strace -e bind output).

Patch by Ali Polatel is attached.

abstract socket patch

This patch was never attached, so I searched out where Ali had it (Exherbo's git repository) - so I'm attaching it now, in the hopes it will eventually get applied.

Fixed in git for 1.4.4/1.5.0
