I believe you're correct. The way I'd recommend fixing it would be
to remove the static variable addrinfo from krt_xaddrs() and pass in
a pointer to krt_addrinfo data object in the using function. You could
do this by adding a third argument to krt_xaddrs() and making the
function type void (since you no longer have to return anything).
