Subject: Re: [patch] Fix handling of overlength pathname in AF_UNIX sun_path

I think its pointless.

Yes there may have been a case years ago to nul terminate but thats now
how 4BSD defined the API so that's how the world looks.

It helps nobody on the app side because they'll be defensively coding for
the existing API for another ten years for enterprise distros anyway.
