+Previously, if none of the C<gethostbyaddr>, C<gethostbyname> and
+C<gethostent> functions were implemented on a given platform, they would
+all die with the message 'Unsupported socket function "gethostent" called',
+with analogous messages for C<getnet*> and C<getserv*>. This has been
+corrected.

-DIAGNOSTICS
- Correct the "unimplemented" message for get{host,net,proto,serv}ent aliases.
-
- Previously, if all of gethost{byaddr,byname,ent} were unimplemented on a
- platform, they would all return 'Unsupported socket function "gethostent"
- called', with the analogous results for getnet{byaddr,byname,ent},
- getproto{byname,bynumber,ent} and getserv{byname,byport,ent}. This bug was
- introduced by change af51a00e97d5c559 - prior to this, all 12 functions would
- report their own name when unimplemented.
