This looks like much the same issue in the UNIX domain sockets.  I have 
been looking at executing unp_gc in a deferred context, and have an 
initial patch which I need to test some before I send to you.  Hopefully 
it will be ready for you to try out in a day or two.

This is likely unrelated to the problem you're experiencing, and has been 
reported previously.  I think a workaround or fix for this may have been 
committed to HEAD, but would need to check the logs and see.  It should be 
non-harmful.
