[New-bugs-announce] [issue36341] bind() on AF_UNIX socket may fail in tests run as non-root

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye <xdegaye at gmail.com>:

This happens on Android where a SELinux policy prevents a plain user to bind() a pathname AF_UNIX socket (abstract and unnamed sockets are not constrained by this policy).

The errors are:
