Comment(by sjamaan):

 I dunno, but this seems awfully hacky of unix-sockets. (just as hacky as
 spiffy using the immediate slots of the ssl egg. Guilty as charged! :P)

 Unit posix rightfully assumes you shouldn't ever get an object of this
 type unless you went through some constructor or other procedure from the
 tcp unit.  If posix-sockets creates faux tcp ports, it should fix this by
 loading the tcp unit, or use some other port type that causes less
 problems.
