1) The Avahi's compatibility layer doesn't implement the now deprecated function DNSServiceRegistrationCreate(). 2) Unless DNSServiceRegistrationCreate() installs a lot of black magic, the Bonjour code in postmaster.c has very poor error handling: There seem to be no attempts made to handle name collisions (unless Bonjour does this automatically, of course).
