Description:
------------
The cgi module does not accept unix domain sockets as parameters to option "-b", as it will be prefixed by ":".

This is needed so I don't have to revert to using iptables with owner matching to set access restrictions for local users; but use directory/file permissions.

Here's a patch against the latest CVS version to not prepend bindpath with ":" when it looks like a file:

-               if (strchr(bindpath, ':') == NULL) {
+               if ((strchr(bindpath, ':') == NULL) && (strchr(bindpath, '/') == NULL)) {
                        char *tmp;

                        tmp = malloc(strlen(bindpath) + 2);


Reproduce code:
---------------
php -b /var/run/fastcgi/php4-someuser

Expected result:
----------------
Start a FastCgi server listening on "/var/run/fastcgi/php4-someuser".

Actual result:
--------------
No server starting as ":/var/run/fastcgi/php4-someuser" is passed to libfcgi.
