The zeros are probably intentional; the name of abstract unix sockets allows ascii NULs, and they may or may not be relevant based on the address length as reported in the C APIs. It's a terrible interface all around.. (and now that I just now realize that a unix socket with name @00...00 len=2 is different from unix socket with name @00...00 len=4 I wonder what breaks if these two are actually used somewhere. Hmm.)
