Comment (by nickm):
It looks like the main culprit here is the init_addrinfo() call, which
tries to resolve our own hostname and cache the result. I wonder why it
was necessary to do that. Does anything break if you remove the body of
init_addrinfo()?
DNSPort doesn't have anything to do with the Tor client's use of
getaddrinfo as far as I know. Not sure why you're seeing that.
