I'm a bit concerned that it uses sbrk() as that is a very old function, 
and it has been deprecated in FreeBSD in favour of the mmap based memory 
allocator.

Also it would be better if the code in question were rewritten to use 
getifaddrs(), as that does most of the legwork involved in getting 
interface information.

Thanks
BMS
