A few places in this file assume that our dbserver IP addresses are
"long"s. A long int can be 8 bytes on some platforms, but we know
these IP addresses are all 4-byte integers. In the rare instances
where we have the maximum number of dbservers, this can overwrite a
bit of extra memory. This can also result in a misaligned access on
platforms such as SPARC v9, since the elements of he->h_addr_list are
not guaranteed to be 8-byte aligned.
So instead, treat these as 4-byte integers. For copying out of
he->h_addr_list, also use a memcpy anyway to be safe, since we are not
guaranteed alignment.
