Inform the nbaudit author that he is not using a proper data type to
represent an ip address. He is probably using u_long instead of in-addr_t
(aka uint32_t). (This doesn't show up since the alpha is little endian
and luckily sticks the "ip" in the proper place.)
His program is broken on all LP64 big endian platforms.
