Description
Steps to reproduce:
sudo vi /etc/hosts, append a line:
255.255.255.255 invalid-ip.bug1427.redmine.named-data.net
start NFD
execute any of the following
nfdc create udp6://[fe80::]
nfdc create udp4://255.255.255.255
nfdc create udp://invalid-ip.bug1427.redmine.named-data.net
Expected: face creation fails, but NFD does not crash
Actual: FATAL: [Main] Failed to properly configure the socket. Check the address (connect: Invalid argument)

This is not face problem, this is problem of not handling exceptions in the manager. Whenever command is received and some action is performed, it should be enclosed in try/catch.
I'm reassigning this to Steve.

Please re-test using http://gerrit.named-data.net/#/c/617/ .
Note:
nfdc create udp4://255.255.255.255
successfully created a face for me prior to any changes. I've added a "best effort" check to block 255.255.255.255 and any of the known interfaces' broadcast addresses.
