I noticed this error log spam on the tinderbox when looking at one of the
failures.  It happens with Unix domain socket forwarding is requested:

debug1: channel 1: new [forwarded-streamlocal at openssh.com]
get_socket_address: getnameinfo 1 failed: ai_family not supported
get_sock_port: getnameinfo NI_NUMERICSERV failed: ai_family not supported

I don't think it's contributing to the problem I'm looking at, but I
imagine it'd be pretty annoying for anyone who uses socket forwarding in
anger.  I haven't had time to look at what could reasonably be done to
mitigate it.
