Title:
  getaddrinfo() writes DNS queries to random file descriptors under high
  load

Status in Embedded GLIBC:
  Unknown
Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm reporting this bug that was resolved upstream in the hopes that it
  might be backported to one of the versions of eglibc that is supported
  by ubuntu. This is fixed in 2.20 but the most recent version shipped
  by ubuntu in any flavor is 2.19.

  The upstream report can be found here
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15946.

  This is a big issue for anyone resolving DNS queries with some amount
  of concurrency. The go-lang project struggled with this and we have
  similar issues at heroku:
  https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6336#issuecomment-66085142.

  If there is a more appropriate way to bring attention to this issue
  with the goal of getting a backport in the works for say trusty please
  let me know.
