Stefan> While porting applications to Tcl8.x I found a few minor bugs.

Your expectation is right. And this is what I get back on my Intel
Linux box. (Perhaps I fixed this problem after the last snapshot.)
Stefan> Tnm::netdb networks address fis.de 0.10.10.150
Stefan> # EXPECTED 150.10.10.0

Stefan> Tnm::netdb hosts {localhost 127.0.0.1} ...
Stefan> # works well using Unix/Linux.
Stefan> # It fails using Windows 95, returning an empty string.
Stefan> # The files hosts and hosts.sam are in the \windows

This is a feature of Win32 systems. They usually have gethostbyname()
and friends but they do not have gethostent() and friends. We will
check whether we can ship our own implementation of these functions
for Win32 systems...
