Strange. Would you try this patch and see if it helps? It disables the
lookups to call the Win32-native getaddrinfo routines.

(I know you are busy so maybe someone else can test MSVC.)

Another posssible fix would be to do a 'continue' in the loop if
conn->addr_cur->ai_addr is NULL, and see if that works.
