I see. If there is a connection, the request succeeds:

drizzd at kzelldran:~/tmp$ ./gaitest 
success, trying to free stuff.

This is what I get, when no nameservers are available:

gai error: Temporary failure in name resolution
ai is: 0xdeadbeef

attempting to free ai...
caught sigsegv, aborting!
