There is no hstrerror anywhere on HPUX. h_errno is defined in
<netdb.h>, but only with nonstandard compilation options:
#ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
extern int h_errno;
#endif
The man page for gethostbyname() points out that h_errno will be garbage
if the hostname was not resolved via a nameserver, anyway.
On the whole, this code looks much less than portable to me.
