Everything works in my STC except Cygwin x86/x64 
"getent ahosts leapsecond.utcd.org" 
on Windows 7 x64 which uses Cygwin getaddrinfo. 
Windows getaddrinfo (ASCII names) in Corinna's STC; Cygwin getaddrinfo, and
Windows GetAddrInfoW (UCS2-LE names) used in the Cygwin implementations,
fail in my code. 
Identical code works from Linux via the same router, and Corinna's MinGW STC
indicates the problem is Windows code, not a BLODA, unless we define Windows
as a likely BLODA. ;^> 

Worked around the problem by falling back to trying gethostbyname when gai
returns 7 EAI_NODATA because GAIW returns 11004 WSANO_DATA. That error is
normally reported when there are no A (and/or AAAA, depending on family and
flags in the call) records for a domain name (most commonly only MX for mail
server, possibly CNAME misspelled or with missing associated A/AAAA, or
other DNS mis-configuration). 

Running whois utcd.org replies normally; whois, traceroute/tracert, and ping
all fail on the name and address as there is host at that address. 
The domain, name, address, SOA, NS, A, and PTR records were set up by P-HK
(phk.freebsd.dk) to provide leapsecond info from IERS Bulletin C encoded in
an address in the IP V4 global class E experimental 240/8 space, see code at
http://phk.freebsd.dk/time/20151122.html. 
An update is due next week for the end of June, when no change is expected,
except the date updated to be valid until after then.
