Since SunOS 3.x looks like it's still going to be in use for a while at a fair
number of sites, and since the problem of crashing when using UNIX domain
sockets exists for all versions of SunOS 3.x, might I suggest a "NO_UNIX_DOM"
preprocessor flag, similar in nature to the "NOSUNLWP" flag?

I added the following code after the machine-specific sections of protos/pr.h
and clib/isis.h:

    #ifdef NO_UNIX_DOM
    # ifdef UNIX_DOM
    #  undef UNIX_DOM
    # endif
    #endif

This lets the machine-specific section set UNIX_DOM however it feels is right
for the machine in question, but lets the user override this decision.
