diff Modules/socketmodule.c @ 17737:0ebfe9a1eb43 legacy-trunk

Three uses of makesockaddr() used sockaddr buffers that had not be cleared; this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the kernel. PySocketSock_recvfrom(): Use PyString_AS_STRING() to get the data pointer of a string we create ourselves; there is no need for the extra type check from PyString_AsString(). This closes SF bug #416573.
