Do you know why this particular code crashes? I can only think of one problem
here:

The 'address' variable is an "unsigned long" type while the man page says it
should be using the in_addr_t type. In a 64 bit architecture, it might make a
difference if the in_addr_t isn't a typedef'ed long.

Could it be this?

That is truly weird.
