New submission from David Watson <bai...@users.sourceforge.net>: Changeset 4736e172fa61 for issue #12810 removed the test "msg->msg_controllen < 0" from socketmodule.c, where msg_controllen happened to be unsigned on the reporter's system. I included this test deliberately, because msg_controllen may be of signed type (POSIX allows socklen_t to be signed, as objects of that type historically were - as the Rationale says: "All socklen_t types were originally (in BSD UNIX) of type int."). Attaching a patch to replace the check and add an accompanying comment.
