Description

The open array element type of 'WinNet.hostent.h_addr_list' is defined in BB1.6 as a pointer to an untagged open array of in_addr. This definition has two errors:
1. it assumes that all addresses are IPv4 addresses (in_addr), and
2. it defines an array of them of which only the first element can be used.
A proposal by Stewart Greenhill for a fix exists in CPC 1.6 rc5.
Reported by Stewart Greenhill, 1998-07-03.

Refers to CPC 1.7 rc5 change list number 67.
