Sounds like a bug to me. That would also make it difficult for linux
apps to talk via unix sockets to native apps. The quick fix is to
remove /compat/linux/tmp, so everything gets created in the real /tmp
directory. I do this on all my machines anyway, since it simplifies
troubleshooting and /tmp cleanup scripts. The full fix would probably
be to add a call to LCONVPATH*() somplace inside so_sa_get(), so paths
are converted just like with all the other syscalls.
