The proposed patch provides a solution for the issue of getaddrinfo() failing to resolv numeric port numbers if neither the socket type or the protocol have been provided. Observed with uClibc, other libraries may or may not have this issue: http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/bionic/blobs/9ab75d4cc803e91b7f1b656ffbe2ad32c52a86f9/libc/netbsd/net/getaddrinfo.c -> look for "ANDROID-SPECIFIC CHANGE TO MATCH GLIBC" :-) Comments are welcome.
