Maybe the symptoms were explained bad. The real observable symptoms are that
the endpoint doesn't get a message once in a while and it, depending on
testcase, just "hangs" in a reading block though the other side successfully
sends them and in other testcases (where we have a sequence number in the
message) msg number X+1 ends up before X (etc) (which is ok with
DGRAM-semantics but not generally with AF_UNIX (as far as I understand))

Maybe the description of that messages are lost were bad, but maybe they are
dropped (perhaps by the fact that the socket-buffer or such is full (just a
wild guess))

If we get some spare time, we will try to reproduce this in a more simple
manner (i.e. a small test-program)

Keep up the good work,
Kristian
