Oops, I didn't know about _POSIX_PII_SOCKET.  Check what the man page
says the type should be for the last parameter to accept(3n) in the
socket API.  I'm assuming it is a socklen_t*, but if not, then maybe
your socket library doesn't correspond to the interfaces you get with
_POSIX_PII_SOCKET defined.  Are there multiple versions of the socket
library?  If so, we need to get the one where the last parameter to
accept is a socklen_t* and socklen_t is defined to correspond to what
the library expects ...

Hmm, we haven't seen this on Solaris or IRIX.  But I'll see if I can
see why this might happen.

Thanks for the offer.  I may take you up on it next week, if I can't
figure out what is going on from the traces you provided.
