Here I disagree. We want to verify that an error from a specific set of
errors occurs. AFAIR, three errors are possible when trying to resolve a
non-existent hostname: EAI_NONAME, EAI_AGAIN (and, as I see from the
messages, EAI_SERVICE; maybe it is when ipv6 is semi-configured like on
travis-ci).

Actual EAI_* error for the test depends on network conditions and host
configuration, messages are platform dependent.

Roman, I suggest to clarify things that Sergos asked in the comments
near to the check: if it is not clear for a reviewer, then a future
reader may hang with it too.

And, please (AFAIR I already asked), comment which message is for which
EAI_* constant.

WBR, Alexander Turenko.
