zygote fails to connect the local socket @property_service

[Alvin Cao]

Hi all

I try to start android manually by the a.sh method, not /init. It
turns out that the runtime process ends up with an infinite loop in
which it tries to communicate with zygote but get refused.
=============================================
12:00:00.030344 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 7
12:00:00.031303 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@android.zygote},
17) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
12:00:00.032589 close(7) = 0
=============================================

I guess there might be something wrong with zygote. So I straced
zygote and get the following error:
=============================================
00:00:29.399183 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
00:00:29.401464 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE,
path=@property_service}, 19) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
00:00:29.403824 close(3) = 0
=============================================
Is it normal? Because in the emulator this step should succeed. BTW,
my file system is jffs2. Is it about the jffs2 issues? Any help is
highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Alvin
