1.7.29-2: Exception from cygwin_gethostname

[David Rothenberger <daveroth at acm dot org>]

I'm having a problem doing hostname resolution on one of my Windows
7 64 machines after updating cygwin to 1.7.29-2. I first noticed it
with ssh. I get an error whenever I try to ssh to any machine using
a hostname; it complains the hostname cannot be resolved.

An strace of ssh shows an exception occuring right after the call to
cygwin_gethostname is logged.

   96   58624 [main] ssh 3536 cygwin_gethostname: name daver-pc
--- Process 3536, exception 000006ba at 000007FEFDD4940D
  860   59484 [main] ssh 3536 __set_errno: void san::leave():315 setting errno 14

This is only occurring on the x86_64 installation on this one
machine. The parallel x86 installation on the machine is working
fine, as are the x86_64 installations on two other Windows 7 64 bit
machines to which I have access.

The 2014-03-20 snapshot works fine for me, but 2014-03-29 fails.

I had Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on the machine, but I
did try uninstalling it, to no effect.

My cygcheck output is attached. I can send the full strace output
from ssh if anyone's interested.

        For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
