Yes, taht is exactly the issue. The abstract sockets use Pascal-style
strings (lenght+data) rather than C-style (NULL-terminated), but with
the complication that the lenght is the used lenght of the whole struct
rather than just of the string. Hense the need for offsetof¹.

1] If you know the strlen(3) of the name you could create a struct of
just the right size, but that would require open-coding the struct
rather than using the definition in the system include file.
