The server is a process called ipc, which is creating the socket, which is
mapped into the filesystem; it is somewhere
in the user-directory, pointing to /tmp/10101 (name of the socket).

The nt-application connect to this socket, as a client.

When I isolate the total code of the sockets from the application (nt) and the
ipc-process, I do not have a problem; but I do not use symbolic links there.
