Juergen,

thanks again for your continued work. (here comes the but)

There is a bug in straps.c that appears on our SVR4 boxes....

There is an int (dlen) and a struct sockaddr_us (daddr) that are used on
the accept when a local client connects to the unix domain local socket.

These variables are generated on the stack (for main) and not initialised.
They should be initialised in the same way as saddr and slen. Without
this initialisation, it intermittently crashes with BUS errors in
a memcpy internal to the accept routine.

Thanks
