Thanks Tom, that was the clue I needed.
Actually, I had "CONFIG_UNIX=m" in the network options. When I read
the help in menuconfig it said that I should have
alias net-pf-1 unix
in /etc/conf.modules, but that didn't work.
Then I rebuilt the kernel with "CONFIG_UNIX=y" (and a couple
of other network options from "m" to "y") and now the
problem has gone away.
