Weird ... I have a faint memory of seeing that happen (which is
why I brought it up).

Does this mean that a situation of A->B and B->C is valid only as
long as A->B is done first, otherwise A->B will fail because B will
already be connected to C ?

Then, the other problem is to restore correctly you need to mimic
the behavior of sendto() because of the way the skb references the
original socket for the write-buf accounting :(

In turn, this means that during checkpoint you need to record the
_origin_ of each buffer in the queue of afunix dgram sockets :((

Sigh :(((
