Subject: [PATCH] Have sock_initaddress() return the list of addrinfo
structures or NULL.
Its return address is currently 0 for success and -1 for failure, with a
pointer to the first element of the list of struct addrinfos returned
through a pointer on success; change it to return that pointer on
success and NULL on failure.
That way, we don't have to worry about what happens to the pointer
pointeed to by the argument in question on failure; we know that we got
NULL back if no struct addrinfos were found because getaddrinfo()
failed. Thus, we know that we have something to free iff
sock_initaddress() returned a pointer to that something rather than
returning NULL.
This avoids a double-free in some cases.
