 Replying to [comment:9 andrea]:
 > This patch looks okay to me; we're entirely sure we never want to
 getaddrinfo() anything new after we enable sandboxing? (I have to learn my
 way around all this new sandboxing code so I have a clearer notion of when
 that happens).

 It's not that we never _want_ to getaddrinfo() anything new: it's that
 attempting to do so will inevitably fail, since the getaddrinfo() code
 usually wants to open some files that we can't permit.

 I looked the code over again too, and modulo one issue
 (b883b8d1a5edbccbc38c) it looked okay to me too.  Merged!
