[Bug libc/279] New: inet_aton does not check string formatting

[ferry at hupie dot com]

red hat 9, glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7

function inet_aton does not check string formatting correctly
a string of 1.2.3 gives me address 1.0.2.3 which is not expected
a string of 1.2   gives me address 1.0.0.2 which is not expected

I think it should check for 3 dots in the string before declaring it valid.
