The behavior you mentioned is questionable to me. Though I cannot
find the manpage of getprotobyname_r(3), there is following
description in the manpage of gethostbyname_r(3) on CentOS:
Glibc2 also has reentrant versions gethostbyname_r() and
gethostbyname2_r(). These return 0 on success and non-zero on
error.
When getprotobyname_r(3) is unable to find the protocol, it should be
treated as error, IMHO. My intention is that when getprotobyname_r(3)
ends up with error but errno is zero, the return code should be
non-zero (-1).

In anyway, errno should be cleared. I've just committed to clear
errno for each method dispatch.

Now, it shows:
Res -1 errno 22 Unknown error: 0 pres 0x0
(When strerror(3) is called with 0 for its argument, it set errno to
EINVAL.)
