	error 13 is EACCES, "The requested address is protected, 
           and the currect user has inadequate permission to 
           access it."

	Since you have created a read-only file system, I'd say the
    socket is attempting to bind to a read-write (full-duplex) socket,
    given the "log" in the name.

	Just creating the socket is unlikely to be blocked by your
    read-only file system, since it doesn't consume an i-node until
    it is bound to a name, or more specifically, the system doesn't
    know what permissions apply until it is bound.
