I see this as a sign of buffer corruption. ls on /proc/3833/fd/ shows: lrwx------ 1 uml-net uml-net 64 2007-05-10 09:39 0 -> /dev/null lrwx------ 1 uml-net uml-net 64 2007-05-10 09:39 1 -> /dev/null lrwx------ 1 uml-net uml-net 64 2007-05-10 09:39 2 -> /dev/null lrwx------ 1 uml-net uml-net 64 2007-05-10 09:39 3 -> socket:[9426] lrwx------ 1 uml-net uml-net 64 2007-05-10 09:39 4 -> socket:[9427] lsof -U shows: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME uml_switc 3833 uml-net 4u unix 0xf47bfa80 9427 socket and netstat: Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 9427 @ I suppose they manage that because they read /proc/net/unix linewise. Older busybox netstat versions (like debian distributed 1:1.1.3-4) manage that too because they also read /proc/net/unix linewise. # /bin/busybox netstat -x Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ] DGRAM 9427 @ But newer busybox (v1.6.0.svn) netstat changed to read /proc/net/unix one character at a time using fgets in xmalloc_fgets_str from libbb/fgets_str.c. In this case, the path string corruption confuses function unix_do_one in networking/netstat.c which outputs a whole bunch of "warning, got bogus unix line" error messages. '/etc/init.d/uml-utilities restart' doesn't change things to the better. 00000000: 6434 6335 3237 3830 3A20 3030 3030 3030 d4c52780: 000000 00000010: 3032 2030 3030 3030 3030 3020 3030 3030 02 00000000 0000 00000020: 3030 3030 2030 3030 3220 3031 2035 3731 0000 0002 01 571 00000030: 3935 3939 3634 2040 0000 0067 4F00 0090 959964 @...gO... 00000040: 9302 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 00000050: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 00000060: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 00000070: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 00000080: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 00000090: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 000000A0: 0000 000A .... Path-string size varies, otherwise pretty consistent behaviour.
