Here's the really ugly part...

% ping 10
PING 10 (0.0.0.10): 56 data bytes
% ping 10.1
PING 10.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
% ping 10.1.1  
PING 10.1.1 (10.1.0.1): 56 data bytes

This makes no sense at all today, but we can't fix it, because it's the
documented and standard-mandated behavior of inet_pton(3) and, if I'm
not mistaken, getaddrinfo(3).
