I think I found the problem. In assuan_init_socket_server_ext(),
ctx->inbound.fd and ctx->outbound.fd are set to ASSUAN_INVALID_FD (-1)
while ctx->connected_fd is set to the passed fd which is the fd returned
by accept() (right?). So the IPC read error is because the file
descriptor is invalid. Does the client have to set INPUT and OUTPUT file
descriptors before any IO can happen?
