Another test:
This sends one UDP package on 1.5, but two on 1.7:
int sd = socket(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct sockaddr_un sa; sa.sun_family = AF_LOCAL;
strcpy(sa.sun_path, "/dev/log");
connect(sd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));
struct iovec iv[2] = { { "<1>", 3 }, { "test: text", 10 } };
writev(sd, iv, 2);
