Details:

In the documentation for Guile's 'connect' call:


http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.8/guile-ref/Network-Sockets-and-Communication.html


it gives examples:


  (connect sock AF_INET INADDR_LOCALHOST 23)
  (connect sock (make-socket-address AF_INET INADDR_LOCALHOST 23))


However, the correct address is INADDR_LOOPBACK, not INADDR_LOCALHOST. The
former is not defined:

guile> (inet-ntoa INADDR_LOOPBACK)
"127.0.0.1"
guile> (inet-ntoa INADDR_LOCALHOST)
[...]
ABORT: (unbound-variable)
