Comment (by teor):

 The attached program performs a similar `getaddrinfo` call to the call tor
 makes when resolving a `*Port` config line.
 On OS X, it hangs for 30 seconds.
 On Linux, it returns immediately.

 Also, on OS X, it only hangs once the `SOCK_STREAM` and `AF_UNSPEC` hints
 are set. If the hints are uninitialised (oops!), it returns immediately.

 What does OS X think is at '\' ?
