Since we reworked the unix socket families in order to support custom addresses for different addressing schemes, we've been using extra values for the ss_family field in sockaddr_storage. These ones have to be adjusted before calling bind() or connect(). It turns out that after the abns/abnsz updates in 3.1, the connect() code was not adjusted to take care of the change, resulting in AF_CUST_ABNS or AF_CUST_ABNSZ to be placed in the address that was passed to connect(). The right approach is to locally copy the address, get its length, fixup the family and use the fixed value and length for connect(). This must be backported to 3.1. Many thanks for @Mewp for reporting this issue in github issue #2875.
