>Description:
	lukemftp does not work because it calls socket with 0 as second
	parameter and gets EINVAL from the kernel.  I looked in the
	source code of lukemftp and found that it uses res->ai_socktype
	from the res that it got from getaddrinfo.  Unfortunately, the
	libc manual does not document getaddrinfo (hint, hint!), so I
	assume that lukemftp is correct in assuming that this field
	would be filled in.
>How-To-Repeat:
	compile lukemftp (ftp client from netbsd)
>Fix:
	no workaround
