>> I only have one concern here: 'errno' is not generally thread-safe.
 
Yes I hear that concern... doing a little more digging and adding some more trace info, here is what comes back from glibc when only using h_errnop. Looks like a bug in glibc. I have to put some more traces in the glibc to see exactly where it is coming from. This code reflects changing errno to h_errnop. Notice h_errno is also set to (-1), but errno is set to ERANGE. Very strange....
 
bash-2.05b# curl --trace trace.txt ftp://localhost/test
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'
bash-2.05b# cat trace.txt
== Info: gethostbyname_r(2) trying to resolve localhost
== Info: gethostbyname_r(2) failed res: (-1), h_errnop: (-1), errno: (34)
ERANGE=34, EAGAIN=11
== Info: gethostbyname_r(2) breaking..res=-1
== Info: gethostbyname_r(2) failed for localhost
== Info: Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'
== Info: Closing connection #0

Here is the source producing the about output....
 
      if ( res < 0) {
          infof(data, "gethostbyname_r(2) failed res: (%d), h_errnop: (%d), errno: (%d) \nERANGE=%d, EAGAIN=%d\n", res, h_errnop, errno, ERANGE, EAGAIN );
      }
      if (( res < 0 ) && ((ERANGE == h_errnop) || (EAGAIN == h_errnop))) {
          if ( ERANGE == h_errnop)
            infof(data, "gethostbyname_r(2) failed (ERANGE).\n" );
          else
            infof(data, "gethostbyname_r(2) failed (EAGAIN).\n" );
          step_size+=200;
            continue;
      } else if (( ERANGE == res ) || (EAGAIN == res)) {
          step_size+=200;
          continue;
      }
