Description Guilhèm Bonnefille 2006-12-22 19:24:36 UTC 
When a connection fails, the error message only reported that something wrong occured.

It would be better to indicate more precisely the error (via strerror) and the server concerned by the error.

use pan_strerror instead of g_strerror to avoid possibility of
passing NULL to the final %s
