Things have been this way since the getaddrinfo stuff was added to
make things work with IPv6. The message is obscure, but it's hard
to see how to improve it and still
I made a typo in a service name today and came across an odd error message
that seems to have begun past 3.5-stable sometime. It manifests itself
when you try to use a nonexistant service name instead of a port
number. I'll file a pr if interest in this issue is lost before a fix is
comitted.
