OK, fixed the C-isms.
I'd imagine most modern systems should support getaddrinfo by now. (At
least Linux and BSD, Solaris might not). But anyway it probably is the
only re-entrant safe alternative (gethostbyname2 and gethostname_r being
GNU extensions).

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.
