rsync - Nov 2001 - Fix to track-kameipv6 branch for socket.c

I ran into a problem where systems without DNS entries could not connect to
the rsync server with the IPV6 patch applied.

Here is a fix to the problem.

Basically they were checking the list of IP addresses returned by getaddr
even if getaddr failed.  I just changed it so they only check the list of IP
addresses if getaddr succeeds.

Any comments on this please email me directly because I do not belong to
this mailing list.  The reason I fixed this is because the rsync RPM that
comes with Red Hat 7.2 contained the IPV6 patch in it.

Later,
John

Please ignore submitted fix.  It looks like it only applies to the Red Hat
patch.

Looking at the code I see that it does not have that issue.
