Public bug reported:
$ nc localhost 1234
$ nc -v localhost 1234
nc: connect to localhost port 1234 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
even without the -v option I expect nc to report any errors to stderr instead
of just exiting. i sometimes use nc together with tar as a simple file transfer
tool and its pretty handy to know what is going on.
