Summary: socket.getnameinfo crashes interpreter

Initial Comment:
When making an invalid call to socket.getnameinfo() it
is possible to crash the interpreter.  From what I've
seen, this occurs under Windows ME with Python 2.2b1
and Windows 98 with Python 2.2a3.  It does not occur
under Mandrake 8.0 with Python 2.2a3.

>>> import socket
>>> socket.getnameinfo(socket.inet_aton('127.0.0.1'), 0)

This results with Python causing an error in
MSVCRT.DLL.  Under Mandrake 8.0 it causes the expected
exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
SystemError: new style getargs format but argument is
not a tuple
