The sockets subsystem was reimplemented between 2.5.1 and 2.6. It is
most likely that your application is depending on an implementation
artifact tof the 2.5.1 sockets code that changed or went away in 2.6
Please could you send 'truss -f' output for the server during the
fork/bind step for both 2.5.1 and 2.8, and I'll have a look.
