Description From Joe Bester 2008-06-03 09:26:05

It looks like the ipv6 address sending code for the c packets is broken. It
sends the first 16 *bytes* of an array of 16 *integers* as the address.

In retrospect it appears that ipv4 address are also subject to this mistake.
Looks like the ftp handler ignores the ip_address value that is sent, using the
HOSTNAME text parameter instead. The c ws core handler uses the incorrect
values sent by the clients.
