Dear Maintainer,

recvmsg in Socket::MsgHdr fails to set the `flags' value to
what the recvmsg(2) syscall writes to `struct msghdr'.msg_flags.

This makes it impossible to detect truncation errors such as
MSG_TRUNC and MSG_CTRUNC when the `buflen' and `controllen'
fields are too small.  Attached is a patch which fixes the
issue in upstream.

Unfortunately, I cannot contribute directly to upstream due to
Terms of Service and JS requirement of Github causing
accessibility problems.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
libsocket-msghdr-perl, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1142663@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
