[Bug 1328975] [NEW] libc6: getaddrinfo() sends DNS queries to random file descriptors

[MapBox]

Public bug reported:

There is an upstream report for debian here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722075 which has been fixed in eglibc 2.19.1 which
is now in debian jessie/sid.  See that upstream report for a short
program which replicates the bug.  I was able to replicate the bug on
Ubuntu 14.04 using that test script.
