Subject: [ruby-core:19845] [Bug #743] Socket.gethostbyname returns odd values

Bug #743: Socket.gethostbyname returns odd values
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/743

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

from http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=14979&group_id=426&atid=1698

ruby -rsocket -e 'p Socket.gethostbyname("127.0.0.1")'

should return something like ["localhost", [], 2, "\177\000\000\001"]
(it does with ruby 1.8.2 (2005-04-11) and also on windows)

However, on linux with 1.9/1.8.7 it returns

["127.0.0.1", [], 2, "\x7F\x00\x00\x01"]

Socket.gethostbyname("127.0.0.1")'
["127.0.0.1", [], 2, "\177\000\000\001"]

respectively, which I think is unexpected.
Thanks!
