You must be talking about Unix-domain sockets, and all I remember seeing in
netstat is IP sockets. I expect what you're seeing is a BSD-only issue
because System V-based systems such as Solaris use a library for Unix-domain
sockets which end up creating a named pipe. Could you give us a simple set
of commands and a simple program to open a socket which reproduces your
problem? That would help to debug the problem. I don't have freebsd, but
if you make the simple test case I could try it on the systems I do have to
see if any of them exhibit the problem.
