  Modified:    lib/libc/yp  yplib.c
  Log:
  Fix for bug noticed by Christoph Kukulies.
  
  _yp_dobind() checks to see if a fork() happens (by checking PIDs) and
  invalidates all bindings if it finds itself in a newly created child
  process. (This avoids sharing RPC client handles and socket descriptors
  with the parent, which would be bad.) Unfortunately, it summarily
  calls clnt_destroy() on the handles, which may result in the destruction
  of a descriptor that isn't really a socket.
  
  This is fixed by replacing the explicit call to clnt_destroy() with a
  call to _yp_unbind(), which deals with potentially hosed socket descriptors
  an a safe manner.
  
  This is basically a one-liner. Once I confirm that it fixes Christoph's
  problem, I'd like permission to put it in the 2.2-RELENG branch.
