I agree the new wrapper is the best place to fix this.

This appears through testing to be a bug or issue in the HPUX 11.22
getaddrinfo() call when provided the service name "telnet" and hostname
"localhost", despite an /etc/host entry (and appropriate nsswitch.conf
config) with:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost loopback
getaddrinfo() consitently returns EAI_NONAME in this case, which is
documented as indicating that either a hostname or service was not
provided, which is incorrect.
Hope that helps,
Nate
