Public bug reported:

Runnint following on top of invalid hostname

        hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
        // This fails with odd error on Ubuntu 13.04
        int err = getaddrinfo(myhost, NULL, &hints, &result);

returns system error "Connection timed out"

Expected behaviour: -2 (Name or service not known).

This breaks a Python 3.3.2 build test as described here:
http://bugs.python.org/issue17759

Problem is reproduced with 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 - in various
flavours: 64-bit, 32-bit; up-to date system and a vanilla 13.04 Live CD.

** Affects: eglibc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
