This is after a call to getpeername() to know what the remote
hosts is.  This happens either after a client connects to you, or
when you connect to an other server.

I assume in your case it's the latest?  The problem is that we do
a non-blocking connect(), so the connect() itself doesn't always
fail, but an other call like getpeername() might, and then
reports the error.
