If I don't hear any other opinions, I'll change these messages to
"connection to server at socket \"%s\" failed: "
"connection to server at \"%s\" (%s), port %s failed: "
(or maybe "server on socket"? "at" sounds right for the IP address
case, but it feels a little off in the socket pathname case.)
