I just realized that I pasted too many lines. The presence of the
"hints" variable in the code above became misleading. It is important
to point out that the error does not happen if I pass the hints to
getaddrinfo, like this:
struct addrinfo hints;
struct addrinfo *addi;
::memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
hints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
int status = ::getaddrinfo(hostname, "9999", &hints, &addi);
I'm intrigued about the different behaviors of Linux and Android when
the hint parameter is NULL. Which one is correct?

My preferred quotation of Robert Louis Stevenson is "You cannot
make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the
omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
