    nscd: Drop local address tuple variable [BZ #29607]
    
    When a request needs to be resent (e.g. due to insufficient buffer
    space), the references to subsequent tuples in the local variable are
    stale and should not be used.  This used to work by accident before, but
    since 1d495912a it no longer does.  Instead of trying to reset it, just
    let gethostbyname4_r write into TUMPBUF6 for us, thus maintaining a
    consistent state at all times.  This is now consistent with what is done
    in gaih_inet for getaddrinfo.
