--- Comment #3 from Florian Weimer <fw at deneb dot enyo.de> ---
The assert failure does not actually happen because a null byte is written to
the buffer before the inet_ntop call (via addname/addstr), and the current and
old inet_ntop implementations do not modify the buffer on failure.

According to this, libbind is now maintained by NetBSD:

“
The handoff of the maintainership from ISC to NetBSD happened in July 2013.

I've sent a note to the NetBSD security team.
