    Problem Summary TSD4U.00216 This test may fail as it is missing an include for arpa/inet.h.
    Problem Text

    The test case #9 makes an assumption that the definition to inet_nota(struct
    inaddr in) which is defined in <arpa/inet.h> is added by includes of other
    include files which is an incorrect assumption. The test case includes
    <netdh.h> which in the XNS issue 5 page 212 states

    Inclusion of the <netdb.h> header may also make visible all symbols
    from <netinet/in.h> and <inittypes.h>.

    On page 213, for the <netinet/in.h> is stated

    Inclusion of the of the <netinet/in.h> header may also make visible all
    symbols from <arpa/inet.h>.


    In both statements the inclusion "may" is used and thus is not a requirement.
    The test case #9 needs to explicitly include <arpa/inet.h> so the defintion
    of inet_nota(struct inaddr in) can be resolved correctly.


    Another potential problem, is the wrong usage of inet_ntoa() by the test.
    inet_ntoa() may return a pointer to static data that may be overwritten by
    subsequent calls to inet_ntoa(). This has not been taken care of in the
    above "strcmp" line of test9C().
