[erlang-questions] Unix domain sockets

[Michael Truog]

I also am disappointed that unix domain sockets lack support, but I am also disappointed there are more internal checks to prevent their use now.  I have been able to graft on support, but it isn't pretty (since it needs to avoid the internal prim_inet checks):
https://github.com/CloudI/CloudI/blob/master/src/lib/cloudi_core/src/cloudi_services_external.erl#L1342-L1375
https://github.com/CloudI/CloudI/blob/master/src/lib/cloudi_core/cxx_src/cloudi_socket_drv.cpp

When I add unix domain sockets this way, I do get an internal ERTS thread stuck at 100% CPU (somehow stuck in a tight loop) for unknown reasons, but it works fine otherwise.
