…ythonGH-159984) On builds using CPython's fallback `getaddrinfo()`, an allocation failure while constructing address results can return success with a null result, and the canonical-name path can ignore a helper error. `socket.getaddrinfo()` can then return an empty list, other callers can crash when they dereference the null result, and partially built address lists may leak. Set `EAI_MEMORY`, propagate helper errors, and keep the partial list available for cleanup. (cherry picked from commit 7c39e8f) Co-authored-by: Jelle Zijlstra <jelle@openai.com>
