Inform the nbaudit author that he is not using a proper data type to
represent an ip address.  He is probably using u_long instead of in-addr_t
(aka uint32_t).  (This doesn't show up since the alpha is little endian
and luckily sticks the "ip" in the proper place.)

His program is broken on all LP64 big endian platforms.
