It should actually be OK, but my suspicion is that the issues is that the Unix (local) domain sockets are still underdocumented compared to the internet sockets. diff -r e9bb3688e654 -r 1044acf60048 lib-src/ChangeLog --- a/lib-src/ChangeLog Wed Mar 04 15:54:00 2015 +0000 +++ b/lib-src/ChangeLog Sun Mar 08 20:59:25 2015 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,16 @@ +2015-03-08 Aidan Kehoe + + * gnuserv.c (echo_request): + No longer close the file handle unconditionally, leave this to the + individual socket types. + * gnuserv.c (handle_internet_request): + Close the file handle here. + * gnuserv.c (handle_unix_request): + Don't close the file handle here, document why (it broke gnuclient + under OS X).
