patch is simple:
-------------
--- inet_network.c.orig 2007-06-03 21:20:26.000000000 +0400
+++ inet_network.c      2007-12-18 11:11:33.000000000 +0300
_at__at_ -53,7 +53,7 _at__at_
 {
        in_addr_t val, base, n;
        char c;
-       in_addr_t parts[4], *pp = parts;
+      in_addr_t parts[5], *pp = parts;
        int i, digit;
 
 again:
