Hi; Yes, sorry for the trouble. I had a typo in a refactor of
SCM_RIGHTS. I suspect it'll be fixed by this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1fa2c0a0c814fbae0eb3e79a510765225570d043

Can you verify Linus's latest tree works for you? If not, there might be
something else hiding in the corners...

Thanks!
