The URI produced look like :

"drbunix:///var/folders/4n/4nXX-KnsHsKYV+CrZq7GGE+++TI/-Tmp-/slave_server_2481650_22612_22613_0_0.136545297001006&q
uot;



Cropping the URI to something shorter than 103 does fix the problem.



Thanks for this nice libray, cheers,

The UNIX socket path name is too long. As defined by
"/usr/include/sys/un.h", line 50, the path name can
be only 103 characters.

When we encountered the issue, we eventually just moved the location
of the socket to /tmp.
