Hi guys,

In some linuxes, when you bind on a loopback network interface, sendto will be fail and errono will be set to EHOSTUNREACH. In this situation, EHOSTUNREACH maybe need treat as INVAL: return false, not throw an exception. Patch is attached. Does anyone interested in this issue? Sorry, I attached a wrong diff. Here is the right one.
