Once again: 127.0.0.631 is not a valid IP address. The final octet can
never be greater than 255 (2^8-1).

I think the point here was to see what different programs say when you give it an invalid IP address. In general, what happens is that the program tries to do a DNS lookup which fails and you get an answer like that, not an explanation that the IP address is invalid.
