  The @code{inet_ntoa} function need not be reentrant, and consequently
  is not required to be thread safe.  Implementations of
  @code{inet_ntoa} typically write the time stamp into static buffer.
  If two threads call @code{inet_ntoa} at roughly the same time, you
  might end up with the wrong date in one of the threads, or some
  undefined string.
  @end itemize
  
  Note: @code{inet_ntoa} is specific for @acronym{IPv4} addresses.
  A protocol independent function is @code{inet_ntop}.
