finished landing the fix for this FreeBSD bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289198
this is quite fun. in one sense, it's a fairly serious bug: inet_net_pton() is completely broken for IPv6; it simply doesn't work and returns garbage output. but this bug has been present since 2006, when this function was first imported into libc, and no one noticed until August of this year when the PR was filed.
what i conclude this from is that literally no one uses these functions, and they should probably have never been imported in the first place. but, well, we can't remove them without breaking ABI compatibility, so now they're here forever, like an obnoxious uninvited party guest.
