Hi Ken,

Unfortunately, your patch doesn't apply cleanly.  My source near
those lines no longer looks like the context in your patch.
In particular, I no longer have a call to connect_network_socket
at line 3142.  I see this commit by Paul Eggert in my source:

commit 918ef71538fd43049496e4370eba63e3096a4933

  Don't use only last protocol from getaddrinfo
    
  Problem reported by Ken Brown in:
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-05/msg00483.html
  * src/process.c (conv_addrinfo_to_lisp): New function.
  (connect_network_socket): Arg is now a list of addrinfos, not
  merely IP addresses.  All uses changed.  Use protocol from
  each addrinfo.
  (Fmake_network_process): Accumulate protocols into addrinfos
  rather than just using the last one found.
  (check_for_dns): Accumulate protocols here, too.
  * src/process.h (struct Lisp_Process): Remove ai_protocol;
  no longer needed.

I built Emacs from source containing that commit, but it didn't fix
the problem.  Let me know if there's any more I can do to help.  I
will leave my local repo in the state where the above commit is
the most recent commit to src/process.c, in case you need me to
try another patch.
