makes sense since gethostbyname is deprecated.
however, i seem to recall that getaddrinfo isn't always available on every
system? that being the reason that gethostbyname is still being so widely used.
not that it matters to Windows as the function is present here.
could you get rid of some of the C-isms? no need to re-declare
"struct"s, and the memset can be changed to just "addrinfo hints = { 0
}".

Bug description:
gethostbyname() shouldn't be called from multiple threads in Linux. As it may
return pointer to static data that will be overwritten by the next call. (And
based on the few stacktraces I've seen lately it is overwritten.) Windows seems
to allocate the data for gethostbyname from thread local storage, so that will
probably explain why it took so long to be reported.
