--- Comment #7 from Peter Jeremy <peterj@FreeBSD.org> ---
I've bumped into the lack of documentation as well, though the triggers were
hidden far more deeply in the kernel:
1) An incorrect cmsg_len will typically trigger EINVAL.
2) Using IPv6-level messages (i.e. cmsg_level==IPPROTO_IPV6) with at
IPv4-mapped IPv6 connection will trigger EINVAL in at least some cases.

This appears to be a duplicate of bug 99356.  I won't close it as a duplicate
because there's different analysis in both bugs.
