I considered fixing this some more; we should probably mark tcp and tcp6 as
'b', but there isn't any point until its use is supported in libc and,
whilst that looks easy, there doesn't seem to be any point doing that
either, since as far as I can tell:

  o It still isn't used in Solaris either;
  o lib/libc/rpc is kind of vendor code;
  o nobody else has 'b' anywhere in /etc/netconfig.
