[breezy] xemacs networking broken?

[Faried Nawaz]

Hello,

I recently upgraded a Hoary box to Breezy, and XEmacs 21.4.17 stopped
making network connections.  I can't use, for example, w3 or zenirc,
or even M-x telnet.

For some reason, on Breezy, this won't work

(open-network-stream "blah" nil "192.168.1.1" 25)

but this will:

(open-network-stream "blah" nil "192.168.1.1" "25")

Emacs on Breezy accepts the former, as does XEmacs 21.4.17 on my other
box (a FreeBSD system).

Here's how to reproduce this error:

- create a file with this code:
  (defun foo ()
    (open-network-stream "blah" nil "192.168.1.1" 25))
- run "xemacs -q -l foo.el -f foo"

You'll see

192.168.1.1/x& Servname not supported for ai_socktype
xemacs exiting
.

Running ltrace on the above xemacs invocation shows this:

[...]
getaddrinfo("192.168.1.1", "\314\021w\b\377O\026\b\200\231\341\277\r",

gai_strerror(-8)                                 = "Servname not
supported for ai_so"...
[...]

It should show

getaddrinfo("192.168.1.1", "25", [...]
