| The @code{inet_ntoa} function need not be reentrant, and consequently |
| is not required to be thread safe. Implementations of |
| @code{inet_ntoa} typically write the timestamp into static buffer. |
| If two threads call @code{inet_ntoa} at roughly the same time, you |
| might end up with the wrong date in one of the threads, or some |
| undefined string. |

| Note: @code{inet_ntoa} is specific for IPv4 addresses. |
| A protocol independent function is @code{inet_ntop}. |
