548	Error handling in socket system	whiteknight		"Browsing through the socket system, I see a few places where error conditions don't seem to be handled in a way consistent with the rest of Parrot. Some examples:

src/io/socket_win32.c:get_sockaddr_in(). there are a few ""XXX"" comments here about poor error handling, and a bare fprintf(stderr, ...) call that should probably be replaced with a Parrot_warn() or a thrown exception.

Same thing in src/io/socket_unit.c:get_sockaddr_in().

Various platform-specific functions are returning platform-specific error codes, as is evidenced in places like src/io/socket_api.c:Parrot_io_socket_is_closed(). We should have a more unified way to say whether a function has succeeded or failed without using a large ugly #ifdef/#endif chain
