Changes for version 5.111 - 2009-08-16

  • perl errornously requires sockaddr_un structures returned by the kernel to have a specific length. work around this bug by padding sockaddr_un structures (found to fail on OS X, as perl only uses the correct code for GNU/Linux, but likely to fail on other OSes as well).
