Summary: Inconsistent socket error messages between NT and UNIX

Initial Comment:
OriginalBugID: 4754 Bug
Version: 8.3
SubmitDate: '2000-03-30'
LastModified: '2000-03-31'
Severity: MED
Status: Assigned
Submitter: sandeep
ChangedBy: ericm
OS: All
FixedDate: '2000-10-25'
ClosedDate: '2000-10-25'


Steps to reproduce:
1.  socket donexist.com 80

Expected Result:
"couldn't open socket: host is unreachable" error

Actual Result:
On Linux and Solaris, you get the expected result.
On NT, you get "couldn't open socket: invalid argument"

At the least, the error messages should be consistent.

In tclUnixChan.c it looks like it is returning EHOSTUNREACH (and that is supported by the error message printed).  On Windows it looks like it is too, but clearly it's not.  Somebody else must be setting errno.
