Yes, I can reproduce it, and it's a total surprise.

In fact, this is *not* a Cygwin problem.  I created an STC, a simple
mingw application, very certainly not using Cygwin at all:

$ cat gai.c
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0a00
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#ifndef AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING
#define AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING 0x80000
#endif

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  WSADATA wsadata;
  struct addrinfo hint, *res;
  int ret;

  WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsadata);

  memset (&hint, 0, sizeof hint);
  hint.ai_flags = 0;//AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ADDRCONFIG | AI_CANONNAME | AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING;
  hint.ai_family = 0;//AF_INET;
  ret = getaddrinfo (argv[1], NULL, &hint, &res);
  printf ("ret = %d\n", ret);
}
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -o gai gai.c -lws2_32
$ ./gai cygwin.org
ret = 0
$ ./gai www.sun.de
ret = 0
$ ./gai leapsecond.utcd.org
ret = 11004

I have no idea why Windows' getaddrinfo chokes on leapsecond.utcd.org
at all.
