I haven't investigated the issue, nor the fix, but I know that use if gethostbyname() is no longer recommended, being marked as obsolete:

• http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/gethostbyname.3.html

       The gethostbyname*(), gethostbyaddr*(), herror(), and hstrerror()
       functions are obsolete.  Applications should use getaddrinfo(3),
       getnameinfo(3), and gai_strerror(3) instead.

At some point we should consider replacing these obsolete functions where they are already used in the code, but for now we should try not to add more use of them...
