So this is the state of the socket that is being passed to
unix_notinflight. I have a complete crashdump so if you need more info
to diagnose it I'm happy to provide it. I'm not too familiar with the
code in question so I will need a bit of time to grasp what actually
is happening.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this since it happened on a
production server nor can I change the kernel. But clearly there is
something wrong, and given that this is a stable kernel and no
relevant changes have gone in latest stable I believe the problem
(albeit hardly reproducible) would still persist.
