Thanks! From what I see in your patch, you're working around the
problem by removing the local implementation of getpeername() so yes,
I agree we'll want to see what upstream says about a proper fix.

I'm not versed in the semantics of getpeername() so can't suggest
anything smart at the moment.

In the meantime, I'll use your package for testing and try to find out
how serious it is that getpeername() gets through unwrapped.

Thanks again!
