Oops, somehow that that patch that I posted to the list before didn't
end up in the 0.10.x series (although something like it seems to be in
0.11.x).  I will re-add it shortly and probably release a new stable
version, maybe this weekend.

I don't know why you seem to be getting a different error now
("Invalid argument") than when you started ("AF_UNIX path too long"),
unless that patch actually broke all socket handling, but in a
recoverable way.  (Fortunately sockets are almost always recreated by
the application so you are still better off with the patch.)
