Can you try applying this patch:

diff --git a/io/channel-socket.c b/io/channel-socket.c
index eaa411f..bc117b1 100644
--- a/io/channel-socket.c
+++ b/io/channel-socket.c

     ssize_t ret;

-    char control[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(int) * SOCKET_MAX_FDS)] = { 0 };
+    char control[CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(int) * SOCKET_MAX_FDS)];
     size_t fdsize = sizeof(int) * nfds;

     msg.msg_iovlen = niov;
