In that case I think there is no doubt that you've found a bug in
getaddrinfo/freeaddrinfo, and you ought to be reporting it to your
libc provider. We do call freeaddrinfo on the result of getaddrinfo,
so if not everything is cleaned up, that's a library bug not ours.
You could check this by reducing the test case to getaddrinfo()
then freeaddrinfo() using the same parameters that fe-connect.c
passes.
