In $CVS/src/client.c I had to change the test in init_sockaddr():

-	if (hostinfo == NULL)
+	if (hostinfo == NULL || hostinfo->h_addr == NULL)

so that CVS wouldn't crash if the previous remote server no longer
resolves to a contactable address.

I'm not sure I understand the problem though.  It is Plan 9 (or APE?)
that returns a valid "hostinfo" with a NULL "->h_addr" or is this
acceptable TCP/IP behaviour?  The CVS developers don't bother to
check.

In case it helps, I went from

	:pserver:lucio@192.168.58.44:/export/repository
to
	:pserver:lucio@cvs.proxima.alt.za:/export/repository

because the 192.168.58.0/24 network was renumbered away.
