Paul, John,
Any comments on this PR?
Synopsis:
Input passed to inet_addr() is not correctly checked for
validity. For instance, 437458475894848475 would be accepted,
even though it will overflow a 32bit quantity.
Likewise, on a four-part dotted-quad only the last integer
is checked for correctness.
Cheers,
Nick
