This really looks like a bogosity in the OS.
What does the inet_network man page say WRT the byte order returned?
If you compile and run the following program:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
printf("inet_network(\"10.11.12.13\") = %ld\n",
inet_network("10.11.12.13"));
}
what do you get?
