below is an alternative way to fix this - btw. the networing code seems to be
broken for bsd <= 4.2 which do not have the addr_list stuff, just
testing for #ifndef h_addr (backward compatibe macro for the first element
of the list) is not enought as the list isn't available at all, but I don't
think it's worth fixing that (bsd4.3 was released about 1987 and has the
address-list).
