New Comment:
It just came into my mind that other PHP functions will also need to
resolve names. So I tried this one:
$a = file_get_contents("http://www.google.de";);
This results on PHP-CGI with Apache in:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]:
php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Der angegebene Host ist
unbekannt. in D:\path\file.php
So some Windows-API-function is failing.
Btw, hosts is world readable (I think that's the way it should be,
right) on my system so that can hardly be the reason.

>I mean, its written in hosts.
Then the CGI binary should have enough privileges to read it.

I justed tried to disable my firewall. It didn't make any difference.
Besides, asking for the address of localhost shouldn't need any network
traffic, should it? I mean, its written in hosts.

Please make sure your firewall does not block DNS requests issued by
gethostbynamel().
Just disable the firewall for some time.
And please use 5.2, not PHP6.
PHP6 is in pre-alpha stage, which means it's a bit early to test it
yet.

I've the same result as you when using PHP-CGI from command line.
PHP-CGI from Apache runs as "NT-AUTORITÄT/SYSTEM", like Apache. So if
this was the reason gethostnamel should also have failed when using it
as module, but it didn't when I tested it with PHP6.
But when I use PHP-CGI with Apache it doesn't work. I somehow suspect
that Apache and PHP communicate via some TCP/IP connection and that
this interferes with gethostbynamel.
FYI, here just the two most important lines from my Apache
configuration:
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
FCGIWrapper "c:/Programme/Net/php5/php-cgi.exe" .php
Maybe I've just configured things wrong a bit, but I can't imagine that
such a strange error could be the result of misconfiguration.

I tested with 'php-cgi -f test.php', where test.php contains your
reproduce code, but I'm not able to reproduce this problem.
Please check the permissions of the user that is running the PHP CGI
binary.
Also, are you running CGI alone (as I did) or from a webserver? And is
it running in a different user account?
