I've received a bug report about gnuserv. This referrs to the stand-alone gnuserv maintained by Martin Schwenke, who forwarded this to xemacsbugs as it is our code. The code in question is: ,---- | #ifdef HAVE_SOCKADDR_SUN_LEN | /* See W. R. Stevens "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" | p. 502 */ | bindlen = (sizeof (server.sun_len) + sizeof (server.sun_family) | + strlen (server.sun_path) + 1); | server.sun_len = bindlen; | #else | bindlen = strlen (server.sun_path) + sizeof (server.sun_family); | #endif | | if (bind(ls,(struct sockaddr *)&server,bindlen) < 0) | { `---- I don't have the Stevens handy. Does anybody know whether the length should include the string terminating 0 or not? I have never seen /tmp/gsrvdir*/gsr on Linux or Solaris. Could somebody check on FreeBSD? Gunnar
