I found this bug in one of the include files for Ultrix 2.0 the
other day while playing with compiling of named 4.8 ....
The include file, /usr/include/arpa/inet.h, has got the type
of the function inet_addr() WRONG as being a struct in_addr.
According to the Ultrix source (a kindof old copy, but it should
not have changed), and comparing that to 4.3 BSD, the type
should be unsigned long.

And remember: "Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how
vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you think it's a long
way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
