I feel a bit inclined to put BLOCK_INPUT around getaddrinfo/freeaddrinfo to be on the safe side. I would rather not. You see, the chance that a quit during this call will cause memory clobberage is very small. It might happen once a year. But it will surely happen every day that users will get stuck in this call, because they can't reach the DNS server. We do not want to make them wait 3 minutes for it to time out.
