Description
Folks attempting to access a sled to collect dumps earlier today mis-typed an IP address, and Humility said:
humility: using UDP dump agent
humility dump failed: failed to receive packet
Caused by:
Resource temporarily unavailable (os error 11)
That's ... not great. We should improve this.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the dump attempt with an incorrect IP address and trace the UDP dump agent's packet-receive error. The work is done when this case reports a clear, actionable explanation instead of "Resource temporarily unavailable (os error 11)".
