Sounds interesting. Maybe you can be more precise ?

And what do you think of Python's way to fix it :

/* On systems on which getaddrinfo() is believed to not be thread-safe,
   (this includes the getaddrinfo emulation) protect access with a lock. */
#if defined(WITH_THREAD) && (defined(__APPLE__) || defined(__FreeBSD__) || \
    defined(__OpenBSD__) || defined(__NetBSD__) ||
!defined(HAVE_GETADDRINFO))
#define USE_GETADDRINFO_LOCK
#endif
