      Bug#35735 mysql-test-run.pl creates tmpdir for socket path longer than 70
       - Additional patch with improved protection by putting it all inside an "eval"
       - Calling 'hostpath' on a truncated socket may also croak.
       - Remove the need to create any directory parts of "path" inside the function.
