Manjaro/Arch x86_64. dmd 2.082, ldc v1.11 from repositories.
Resolving an invalid address with no dots, such as "asdf", causes a segmentation fault. Resolving a nonexistent address throws an exception, as it should, and valid addresses resolve fine.
Noteworthy is that it started after I moved the resolving into a function run as a Generator Fiber. Calls to getAddress outside of it seem to work fine. Unsure if that's relevant.
Tested on two machines running Linux, with dmd and ldc. On a Windows machine however it properly threw a SocketOSException: getaddrinfo error: No such host is known.
Reduced example (31 lines) is at the resolveseg branch of https://github.com/zorael/kameloso.

Random changes to the source makes it segfault in getenv in libc.so.6 instead. For instance, version/comment out the foreach in resolveFiber in connection.d.
