…o-controls-hdbpp#6) The second struct addrinfo contains a field ai-canonname which is NULL. This caused a crash because some code was attempting to create a string from a null pointer. getaddrinfo man page (on Debian Buster) says the following: If hints.ai_flags includes the AI_CANONNAME flag, then the ai_canon- name field of the first of the addrinfo structures in the returned list is set to point to the official name of the host.
