New submission from ariel-wikimedia:

With python 2.7.5 (running on fedora 20 with all updates), socket.getaddrinfo 
for a hostname such as 836937931829 will fail.  Docker produces these sorts of 
hostnames (really random hex strings, but some hex strings only contain digits 
0-9).

How to reproduce:

Add the lines

172.17.10.53    blobber
172.17.10.54    836937931829

to /etc/hosts

run the following:

import socket
print socket.getaddrinfo('172.17.10.53',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP)
print socket.getaddrinfo('blobber',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP)
print socket.getaddrinfo('172.17.10.54',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP)
print socket.getaddrinfo('836937931829',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP)

Expected output:
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))]
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))]
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))]
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))]

Actual output:
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))]
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.53', 80))]
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('172.17.10.54', 80))]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test-getaddrinfo.py", line 6, in <module>
    print socket.getaddrinfo('836937931829',80,socket.AF_INET,0,socket.SOL_TCP)
