getaddrinfo() may fail with error code different from EAI_FAIL
or EAI_NONAME, however in this case we still try to free the
results object, thus leading to a crash.

Fix this by bailing out on any possible error.

Side note: you could instead use the libcall error(), even if at this
point it would be a quite largish self-test refactor.
