Looks like I have to apologize. From the manpage:
> The gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() functions return the hostent

But that is extremely odd, since I have a verified case
where gethostbyname would return a struct with an
_invalid_ h_aliases entry. Confusing.
Perhaps a threading issue? Should gethostbyname usage
be synchronized? I'll look into that.
