But why use a local freeaddrinfo function? The code is checking at
multiple places if an addrinfo* == NULL and if it's NULL it just returns
without freeing it and at some other places it just frees it. For 
censistence reasions i would propose to check if it's != NULL before 
freeing it.

The spec also just defines the != NULL case and we shouldn't depend on
undefined behavior imho.

Peter
