[lug] Socket Error

Ok fellows, I was dead wrong!  I apologise for creating a red herring.
This is not the way to create a stream to access a file (open does
that - aaggghh!).  The file used in socket communication is just an
implementation mechanism.  However, I observe that the helpfulness of
error messages still hovers around that of those used in 1955.

Thanks to all for the help; I did learn a couple of things.
