The stacktrace was enough.

You must have called inet_res:getbyname(Name, Type, infinity),
and that was apparently not tested. The functions that calculate
the remaining time for do_udp_recv/5 are not written for a timeout of
'infinity' and crash for the subtraction of Now - 'undefined'.

This is a bug. Thank you for reporting it.

You should be able to work around it by using a long timeout value.
