This error message indicates that getaddrinfo of "foo.invalid" is
returning something other than EAI_NONAME.  I suspect it's returning
success -- perhaps the buildd has a DNS configuration that resolves
unknown hosts to some address rather than returning failure?

I'm going to try working around this by ignoring and skipping a success in
looking up that name.  It makes it a slightly worse test, but I'd rather
have the test suite run properly in weird environments.

I'll upload a new package in a few minutes with that workaround and some
debugging code so that I can check whether that's indeed the problem.
