Not pure luck, free(NULL) is valid but passing random garbage to 
freeaddrinfo() would always fail.[1]

The critical point is that freeaddrinfo(NULL) working with a C library
is only an implementation detail of this specific version of the library,
not something a C library has to support according to POSIX.
