Platform: AIX 5.1 on a P650

We have just discovered that if I call getaddrinfo()
in the following manner when syslogd is down:
struct addrinfo *ai_list;
struct addrinfo hints;
char hostname[255] = "myhost.cnf.com";
char servname[10];
int error;

memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

sprintf(servname, "%d", 10003);
error = getaddrinfo(hostname, servname, &hints, &ai_list);

That it will fail with a return code of 11 and errno set to 9.
return code of 11 means "system error returned in errno" and
errno of 9 is EBADF.

If syslogd is NOT down making the above call will result in
the following syslog message:
syslog: The user option is different from the address family passed into the API.

Note: the /etc/netsvc.conf file contains the following:
hosts = local=auth, bind4

Does anyone know why we get the syslog message
or why the call fails when syslogd is down ???

Thanks,
