Index:	ucb/netstat/*.c 4.2BSD

Description:
	When compiled with SUN yellow pages code present, dumps core.

Cause:
	Use of word "socket" as a variable name ("struct socket socket")
	clashes with use of word "socket" as name of a system call,
	causing call to "socket" inside yellow pages library to transfer
	control to a data object, generally resulting in nonproductive
	program behavior.

Fix:
	Find all occurences of the variable "socket" and change them to
	something else, such as "wsocket".
