Bug#556600: getaddrinfo() fails with system error

[Hagen Möbius <hagen.moebius@googlemail.com>]

Hi back.

That did it. Thanks a bunch!

Now the problem is certainly resolved but why is the error reporting
so wrong (EAI_SYSTEM points to errno which does not contain any error
information) and why is the fallback not working? Is that related to
the [NOTFOUND=return] directive?

Anyway, thanks for your input,

Hagen.
