Out of curiosity, I modified the test to see if immediately unlinking the socket node after bind(2) would leave it around until it's closed, a feature which some software expect for files on certain OS/FS combinations. However, the socket node is immediately deleted at unlink(2) even if it's still open and bound, so an application also shouldn't rely on this.
