code which recorded the filenames in the audit records was broken, but since
we just "fixed" that problem, the AF_UNIX socket problem is now making an

Ugh. Ok, I pulled the thing, even if I really hope for a better
solution long-term. That better solution may well be to get rid of all
the audit hackery in getname()/putname(), I wouldn't mind that at all.
