Eric Andersen [Sun, 4 Jun 2000 05:21:49 +0000 (05:21 -0000)]
"nc" exits silently on errors. This patch makes it print something before
exit().

Note that calling perror() after gethostbyname() will most likely return
"No such file or directory" which is quite confusing, so I decided to use
fatalError instead.
