| gethostbyaddr() has a sign extension bug which causes it to mess up
| the building of the 32 bit address to put in in_addr.  Additionally,
| htonl() is required to convert to network byte order.  So

Actually the addr parameter is supposed to be supplied in network order.
This is one of several related bugs that I fixed for the second edition.
