Description

Linux provides the ability to create a Unix Domain socket in an abstract namespace independent of the filesystem. A abstract namespace is specified by having the sockaddr_un.sun_path start with a NULL character.

TServerSocket and TSocket both utilize snprintf when writing to the sockaddr_un structure, which stops at the first NULL character. Abstract namespace support can be added by using memcopy instead.
