(CVE-2024-53580) This has now been fixed.

One where `pthread_cancel` was called on an improperly initialized thread (#1801), another where threads were being recycled (#1760/PR#1761), and another where threads were improperly handling signals (#1750/PR#1752). * A segmentation fault from calling `freeaddrinfo` with `NULL` was fixed
