    Problem Text

    This assertion uses the interfaces inet_addr() and inet_ntoa() to
    convert a string representation of the dot notation internet
    address to an integer value and back. However, according to
    page 201 of the XPG5 XNS <arpa/inet.h> is required to use this
    function. Neither dghostbynam1.c or fghostbynam1.c include
    <arpa/inet.h>.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: gethostbyname

    TEST PURPOSE #9

    communications domain:
    A successful call to struct hostent
    *gethostbyname(const char *name) when name is an alias
    for a valid host name shall return information about
    the host name to which the alias refers and include
    name in the list of aliases returned.
    PREP: Find a host with an alias
    TEST: gethostbyname returns host entry for an alias
    TEST: Verify returned data
    ERROR: TEST TERMINATED DUE TO SIGSEGV SIGNAL (11)
