linux-3.17, 3.18, 3.19 and 4.0.2 have issues with netlink/rhashtable,
making things like getaddrinfo() not working after a while :

Do you use namespaces?

Cheers,

No.

Trick is to start about 200 threads using getaddrinfo()

This was spotted using netperf, but you probably can use something like
this program.

Thanks.
