See the error code in parenthesis (11001). This value should be
translated to human readable string by gai_strerror() as done in SVN
HEAD source code. Probably your system C library does not implement
fully this function. Dig into header files of your libc to get the
meaning.

Actually I see similar problem on Linux with Linphone-3.1.1 too. It does
not translate the code. I will try to compile current code to resolve
it.
