Summary: makesockaddr() AF_UNIX ignores sun_len

Initial Comment:
On FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, bind two AF_UNIX,SOCK_DGRAM
sockets and send a packet over.  The recvfrom() call
returns a corrupted pathname.

This seems to fix the problem:

return PyString_FromStringAndSize (a->sun_path,
a->sun_len - (sizeof a->sun_len + sizeof
a->sun_family));

Another fix would be to zero out the address buffer in
recvfrom() [and any other places that call
makesockaddr]
