>Description:

	getaddrinfo() should accept numeric when ai_socktype is not
	specified in hint or hints is NULL.

	RFC 3493:

   If servname is null, the call shall return network-level addresses
   for the specified nodename.  If servname is not null, it is a null-
   terminated character string identifying the requested service.  This
   can be either a descriptive name or a numeric representation suitable
   for use with the address family or families.  If the specified
   address family is AF_INET, AF_INET6 or AF_UNSPEC, the service can be
   specified as a string specifying a decimal port number.

	While I havn't checked the posix spec nothing in RFC 3493
	indicates that numeric values are only to be accepted when
	ai_socktype is specified.

>How-To-Repeat:

% ./a.out
53/NULL
servname not supported for ai_socktype
53/hint
servname not supported for ai_socktype
domain/hint
28 2 17
2 2 17
28 1 6

			       res->ai_protocol);

		freeaddrinfo(res0);
	}
	exit(0);
}

>Fix:

	The following if from the BIND 8 source but should apply.
