    Research direction

    Start by locating the Python getaddrinfo entry point and reviewing the behavior for invalid port numbers in the extension-module implementation. Reproduce the reported case and identify the existing regression-test area; done means invalid ports are handled consistently and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
