peerconnection_client sample crashes when entering a hostname instead of an ip address to connect to

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. build peerconnection_client sample from webrtc
2. run it
3. enter a hostname in the server field
4. click connect

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the sample to resolve the given hostname and connect
(everything works fine when using an ip address instead of a hostname). Instead 
the sample crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Windows 7, libjingle r175 from webrtc.

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems that 
    talk_base::Thread::Current()
is null when 
    if (server_address_.IsUnresolved())
is called, leading to a null pointer dereference (i.e. there is no main thread 
set).

Setting a main thread (e.g. by calling 
talk_base::ThreadManager::Instance()->WrapCurrentThread()) before this block 
"fixes" the issue but seems to block the GUI (so I assume that this is the 
wrong way to solve this).

Apparently fixed as of rev 204.
