 Oops, I'm sorry that you had to create some testing example
 - it was possible that I could send one...
 
 Just change SOCK_STREAM to SOCK_DGRAM. However, I do not understand,
 why there is a difference between SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM, because
 I thought from ipc_usrreq.c in /usr/src/sys, that the behavioour
 should be the same.
 
 Thank you very much.
