This is just a minor annoyance. >How-To-Repeat: Read the manual page; look at the section which mentions return codes; wonder why you got an error that isn't listed; drink a cola; fix your code after hitting yourself on the head for doing something really dumb; write a patch to the manual page. (Sorry for the bad joke, but there's nothing that really fits in this section.) >Fix: Apply the following to src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3.
