Alocate rcmd{,_af}()'s *ahost argument using malloc() (well
strdup()) rather than pointing it at something that's free()d (via freeaddrinfo(res)) before the function returns. I appreciate that this is an API change, but it's the only way (AFAIK) of doing this without breaking existing code that uses rcmd{,_af}(). Pointed out by: phkmalloc
