Fixed.

I'm guessing this is the exact same problem, just that it causes a
different exception to be thrown.  Hopefully, my fix fixes that as
well.

I've made a change to netxx so it includes the text for the errors
returned by getaddrinfo() and gethostbyname().  Maybe that will help
to figure out what happens if the name resolution problem persists.

Could anyone who has experienced all these problems pull the latest
revision, rebuild and see if you still get the same problems?
