I found the problems-- they were limited to the test code only so it
doesn't look like rsync itself is the problem.  However, I have not
yet back-ported the changes I made to my simplified test case into
rsync so there may still be something there that needs fixing.

The problems were:
1) In socket.c there's the line "sock2.sin_family = PF_INET;" but no
corresponding line for the other socket "sock". The connect() blows up on
HP-UX with an address family error since it's still set to 0.
2) In the same file, neither socket ever gets a TCP port assigned, so
connect() fails on HP-UX.

The same code works great on my Linux host, since Linux helpfully
populates these missing values.

Would you like a suggested patch or is the above good enough?
