[issue2742] example code does not work

[Simon Cross]

Simon Cross <hodgestar at gmail.com> added the comment:

This also affects Python 2.4 and 2.6 on Linux systems. Bug
http://bugs.python.org/issue2763 is a duplicate of this one.

The issue is that socketmodule.c doesn't convert empty strings to NULLs
before passing hptr through to the underlying system getaddrinfo(...).
The question is whether to fix the documentation and examples or the
socketmodule.c code.
