Hi,

the regression has been introduced in 2.6.39.3 with commit
d0733d2e29b652b2e7b1438ececa732e4eed98eb. I experience this with a proprietary
binary program. So I cant give you the source code which fails. This program
used to work before but fails after applying this patch. As far as I understand
the programm is using this code for ipc communication. I have recorded the
strace output of the relevant part of the program.
strace without d0733d2e29b652b2e7b1438ececa732e4eed98eb on kernel 2.6.39.2

2056  bind(4, {sa_family=AF_UNSPEC, sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"},
16) = 0
2056  getsockname(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(33537),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0
2056  listen(4, 5)                      = 0
2056  setsockopt(4, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0

6190  write(11, "ERROR: Failed to bind to interne"..., 66) = 66
6190  close(11)                         = 0
---------------

Btw, i have not enough knowledge on this topic to decide whether its the
programs fault or the kernels fault. The binary program is sybyl8.1 from
tripos.

Best regards, Rene
