  Modified:    lib/libc/net  getnetbynis.c
  Log:
  Fix other half of problem reported in PR #1079: _getnetbynisaddr() is
  broken. The translation from network number to ASCII string was not
  working correctly (you would sometimes get things like 0.244.0.0 instead
  of 244.0.0).
  
  Also copied results of yp_match() to a static buffer for consistency
  with gethostbynis.c.
  
  Note: _getnetbynisaddr() chops off trailing .0's, i.e. 244.0.0 is
  truncated to 244. By contrast, getnetbyht.c code (for local /etc/networks
  lookups) leaves the traling .0's in place. This means that the NIS
  and local file lookups will match different things when looking up the
  same network number. I'm not sure which is the correct behavior. (I
  think the DNS lookup code tries all combinations -- should the NIS
  and local host lookup routines do that too?)
