with regards to debian bug #573902:

it looks like the origin of the limit for the length of the unix-domain
socket filename is not actually in socat.

I traced it back to /usr/include/sys/un.h, which says:

> /* Structure describing the address of an AF_LOCAL (aka AF_UNIX) socket.  */
> struct sockaddr_un
>   {
>     __SOCKADDR_COMMON (sun_);
>     char sun_path[108];               /* Path name.  */
>   };

so maybe it's a kernel limitation?  or a libc6 limitation?  ugh.

        --dkg
