Subject:	RE: Could not resolve hostname xxx: Bad address

After running strace I was able to determine there was a problem calling
cygwin_gethostname.

This led me to a recent thread "1.7.29-2: Exception from
cygwin_gethostname".  Replacing cygwin1.dll with the snapshot build
referenced in that thread fixed my problem also.

Subject: ssh: Could not resolve hostname xxx: Bad address

OpenSSH under Cygwin just started failing with "Could not resolve host
address".  Originally this was actually using scp to transfer a file to a
local host, however, the attached example is a simplified test case.
Output from cygcheck attached.

PS D:\WorkArea\Cygwin> ssh -vvvv www.ibm.com OpenSSH_6.6, OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7
Apr 2014
ssh: Could not resolve hostname www.ibm.com: Bad address PS
D:\WorkArea\Cygwin> ping www.ibm.com

Although this particular test was run from within Powershell, same results
from command shell and bash.

I am aware of the recent issue with mixed case host names but shouldn't be
relevant in this case and OpenSSH and all installed Cygwin software is at
latest versions.  Have reinstalled OpenSSH just to be sure and still fails.

Note that I have exactly the same Cygwin (x64) installed on a Windows Server
2012 instance running on Amazon EC2 and it continues to work fine.

Not sure when this broke but I probably haven't attempted to use ssh from
this machine for a couple of months.  One thing that has definitely changed
since the last use (and is different to the working instance) is
installation of Windows 8.1 Update 1 patch.

Running with "-vvvv" doesn't give any additional information other than
version numbers.  Nothing in Windows event logs.  Suggestion for debugging
further?
