I think the exit code is interpreted incorrectly. In this case it isn't equal
to the number of bytes received. Then python copies this number of bytes from
the buffer with smaller size, so it may access memory which are not allocated
or allocated by someone else.
valgrind detects this type of errors:
[avagin@localhost ~]$ cat sock.py
import socket, os, sys
sks = socket.socketpair(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
sks[1].send("\0" * 4096)
sys.exit(0)
sk = sks[0]
print sk.recv(1, socket.MSG_TRUNC )
[avagin@localhost ~]$ valgrind python sock.py
