[Bug 418176] Re: gw6c crashes with buffer overflow on start

This is the same problem as in bug #323288 that has been re-imported
with the change from tspc to gw6c.

The call to inet_addr (3) is stored in a unsigned long, which length is
passed to memcpy. Since the destination is strictly 32-bit long, when
the code is run on a 64-bit platform, the size of unsigned long is
64-bit, and a buffer overflow occurs.
