My buest guess is that this is because it is now using something like
inet_addr() for decoding the address instead of some roll-your-own code.
FWIW, this zero fill is a standard part of the system:
peter@daintree[11:24pm]~src/sys/pci-142> ping 192.168.5
PING 192.168.5 (192.168.0.5): 56 data bytes
..
peter@daintree[12:13am]~src/sys/pci-143> ping 127.1
PING 127.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.068 ms
..
This is far more prolific in IPv6. Eg: "ping ::1" is localhost.
Cheers,
-Peter
