Calling getaddrinfo() with invalid IPv4 literal

Hi,
What is the expected behavior when calling getaddrinfo() with an invalid
IPv4 literal? By invalid, I mean a dotted quad where one or more of the
parts is outside 0-255.
For example, getaddrinfo("1.2.260.5", ...).
Currently, it seems this succeeds, but returns some sort of (rolled over?)
address. Previously at some point, it seems this used to return an error.
Thanks,
Scott
