In message <199606290759.RAA29925@godzilla.zeta.org.au> you write: >2a) Investigate possible breakage of socketpair() in foreign libraries > (BSDI, Linux, etc). Any library that uses the previously suggested > fix of handling socketpair() like pipe() will break. NetBSD doesn't touch retval at all (e.g. they simply deleted the two XXX lines), like many system calls. Terry's suggestion of setting it to 0 obviously does no harm but is kind of belt-n-suspenders. Thus fixing it in libc will likely break NetBSD compatibility. Bill
