The following patch:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2001-q3/msg00100.html
broke gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() when the IP address contains
zero components. For example, my mail server is 24.0.95.227. When I
connect to it with a Cygwin app, the address actually used is 24.0.0.0.
The root cause is that dup_char_list() does not handle embedded null
characters. The attached patch is one way to correct this problem.
