Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-10
Severity: normal

The test program below shows a limitation of the getaddrinfo function, it
doesn't seem to parse numeric ip addresses that aren't formatted using four
separate dotted quads. This is a big regression as traditionally this is how
lots of networks specified their ip addresses. Most standard programs do
support this notation. 

I ran into this problem because rdate now uses getaddrinfo and now breaks when
given "10.1" as an address.

$ ./a.out 10.0.0.1
$ ./a.out 10.0.1
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
[Exit 1]
$ ./a.out 10.1
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
[Exit 1]
$ ./a.out $(( 256 * 256 * 256 * 10 + 1 ))
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
[Exit 1]
$ ping $(( 256 * 256 * 256 * 10 + 1 ))
