Re: Network Exception

Hi,

that error message is a bit confusing, to say the least:
getProtocolByName identifies itself as getServiceEntry
when failing. In this case, I'm quite sure, your snippet
fails because (getProtocolByName "tcp") isn't successful.
I've no idea why your /etc/protocols doesn't contain an entry
for 'tcp'.

The error message in said function has now been fixed; thanks
for the report.
