Seems the fix is incorrect, on 2.11 I get:

bash-4.0# gcc bug-408901.c
bash-4.0# ./a.out www.redhat.com
www.redhat.com -5
bash-4.0# touch /etc/hosts
bash-4.0# ./a.out www.redhat.com
www.redhat.com 0

It seems that returning NO_DATA (in the patch) stops the host search
prematurely. Instead returning HOST_NOT_FOUND fix the issue, and sounds more
logical.
