On AIX, the config.h generated by 'configure' sets up
the following directives:
#define HAVE_FREEADDRINFO 1
#define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1
#define BROKEN_GETADDRINFO 1
This allows the compiler to use the 'getaddrinfo()'
routine in fake-getaddrinfo.c, but it uses the
'freeaddrinfo()' provided by AIX. I don't think
'freeaddrinfo()' is releasing the linked list
properly, because I think I'm seeing a memory leak
roughly a multiple of the struct size per new channel.
If I undefine HAVE_FREEADDRINFO in config.h, the
memory leak seems to go away.
I would solve this by having a 'BROKEN_FREEADDRINFO'
flag defined for AIX, and use the same logic as when
'BROKEN_GETADDRINFO' is defined. That way, the
'freeaddrinfo()' routine from fake-getaddrinfo.c is
used, as opposed to the one from AIX.
