I've hit a similar problem in the past (same error, same line of
Socket.pm) on a completely different architecture in a completely
different scenario before, but I don't really remember what the fix
was.  I seem to remember it had to do with the hostname / ip / port
involved (one or the other was invalid, or contained an illegal
character, or was empty, or something of the sort).  Is there
non-ascii in the hostname or fqdn perhaps?
