It also happens because sometimes the address isn't properly byte
swapped before the routine is called.  For instance:

8/16 13:38:01 (3961.49) (17037):	 Weird 0x28796980
8/16 13:38:01 (3961.49) (17037):Returned addr
8/16 13:38:01 (3961.49) (17037):	128.105.121.40

Note the "Weird" address is just the little-endian value of the actual
"Returned addr".  This happens somewhere in the checkpoint code.
