+The test tries to create a unix socket in GOTMPDIR, and fails with
+'bind: invalid argument'. This is because tha max file path for a unix
+socket is [108 characters][0].
+
+We set GOTMPDIR to be located in $srcdir, which causes the filepath to become
+>108 characters.
+
+Force the test to use `/tmp` dir to make sure the path length does not
+become too large.
