That's exactly what the NO_SOCKET_TO_FD #definition is for and that's
why the socket-client.c file is necessary in the first place.  Probably
someone (likely me) added a call that assumes a socket descriptor may be
treated like a file descriptor and neglected to use the #ifdef
NO_SOCKET_TO_FD switch to select socket_buffer_initialize instead of
fd_buffer_initialize.  Can you figure out where the buffer came from?
