Socket.Connect fails on Mac OS X on PowerPC hardware when an IP address is
used, although it works correctly when a hostname is used. 

The stack trace looks like this:

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known
  at System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddressFromString (System.String address, Boolean
parse) [0x00000] 
  at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry (System.Net.IPAddress address) [0x00000] 
  at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry (System.String hostNameOrAddress) [0x00000] 
  at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect (System.String host, Int32 port)
[0x00000] 
  at NS.TestTcpClient.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]

The following code can be used to reproduce this:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Socket socket = new Socket(
                AddressFamily.InterNetwork, 
                SocketType.Stream, 
                ProtocolType.Tcp);
            socket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 80);
        }
