I did some investigation on a redhat 6.0.  It seems getaddrinfo
is really broken.

It returns an AF_INET socket, but it doesn't say it should be of
socket type SOCK_DGRAM.  It also returns an AF_UNIX socket and
for that it sets the socktype correct, but we don't want to use
the AF_UNIX one.

I'm going to assume that Mac Os X is broken in the same way.

Here is a new patch.
