Well, I think you're out of luck.  AF_UNIX has been broken for a long
time and I I'm not sure that there exists a working version anywhere.
BSD had problems up through 4.2, such as getsockname() didn't work...

This is probably something similar...

Why won't you use AF_INET sockets?  If you use "localhost" for the host
name it gives you something that ought to be very close (if not exactly)
what you are looking for.  And it works (strong incentive...)
