Could it be that the process is running out of free sockets to use for the
DNS resolver? Could it be a bona-fide temporary problem on the remote
site's DNS server, or a temporary network problem? Does it work on such
sites if you try it again? Are you using c-ares? Error 23 indicates an
error code returned by the app and is likely a separate problem.
