my_inet_aton() was accepting a zero-length host name and successfully
converting it to an address of all zeroes. This is apparently not the
expected behavior since test #4 in lib/Net/t/config.t expressly uses a
zero-length string as an invalid hostname and the test was failing. It
passes after the following patch. Note that this only affects platforms
where HAS_INET_ATON is false.
