Possible Solution
I'm guessing there is some issue with null terminated strings. Linux man pages mentions a historical issue here:
In addition, some implementations don't require a null terminator
when binding a socket (the addrlen argument is used to determine
the length of sun_path) and when the socket address is retrieved
on these implementations, there is no null terminator in
sun_path.
