Looks like standard bad old coding practice. Various people have done
a pretty thorough 64-bit-cleanliness audit on NetKit, so that stuff
should all be gone, we hope.
But I don't see the connection to enumerating network interfaces -
correct me if I'm wrong but this just looks like it will result in a
broken select(2) call in some cases...
