This fails because MSG_TRUNC isn't always set in msg_flags when receiving a truncated datagram with recvmsg().
It's a known kernel bug (http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=211030), fixed in FreeBSD 8 (and the test indeed passes on the FreeBSD 8 buildbot).

The patch attached skips the test on FreeBSD < 8 (and introduces @support.requires_freebsd_version).

@requires_freebsd_version should be factorized with @requires_linux_version.

Can we workaround FreeBSD (< 8) bug in C/Python? Or should we remove the function on FreeBSD < 8?

Patches attached.

Not really.

> Or should we remove the function on FreeBSD < 8?

There's really no reason to do that (and it's really a minor bug).
