Bad access to IP address in memory

Hi,

I think I might drop a message for that, even though I cannot reproduce
the issue every time.
There is perhaps a bug in network_sockaddr_sprintf or *cp->Address is bad
in innd/status:

      network_sockaddr_sprint(status->ip_addr, sizeof(status->ip_addr),
                              (struct sockaddr *) &cp->Address);

Indeed, I have just noticed in /var/log/news/http/inn_status.html
(with a CURRENT INN) that:

localhost
    seconds: 756            duplicates: 0           ip address: 31d078$0$893$ba4acef3 at news.orange.fr> <48321a3

Only "localhost" was affected.
After a refresh of the file, there were weird characters (not ASCII) for
the IP address, so that's bad.


I tried to change my incoming.conf but the issue disappeared.
Well, I put again the same incoming.conf to see whether it comes back...
