BTW, HP-UX 11.00 has the same problem (when using the C++ compiler).

From apache-1.3.22/src/main/http_main.c
    int sock_in;

    ...

    struct sockaddr sa_server, sa_client;

    ...

    sock_in = fileno(stdin);
    sock_out = fileno(stdout);

    ...

        l = sizeof(sa_client);
        if ((getpeername(sock_in, &sa_client, &l)) < 0) {
/* get peername will fail if the input isn't a socket */
            perror("getpeername");
            memset(&sa_client, '\0', sizeof(sa_client));
        }
