"Works" for me, using a cvs update from yesterday morning (the morning
after the BETA 2 freeze), modulo the fact that someone committed
changes to #ifdef out ("#ifdef BAD") all the calls to the actual inet
parser routines, effectively causing all data to be rejected. Since
we had an implementation that actually worked, and the changes that we
wanted to make were compatible with currently stored data, it would
have been smarter to leave it working until the changes were ready to
be committed. It's better to be able to keep testing something that
doesn't have all the wanted functionality than to disable it until an
unknown time in the future! :-)
