Local fix
Problem summary
The getsockname() call copies the length of the full socket address structure (1025) into the NameLength field instead of the actual size of the socket address. . There are also issues with storing socket addresses greater than 255 characters that cause getsockname() to return truncated path for such sockets.
Problem conclusion
Restore the correct behavior of getsockname() with regard to the above issues.
Temporary fix
