Which function?

"Old" code tends to be more bug free than newer.

Perhaps Caspar could tell you the next time a concrete failing example
(read: function call or the like) with the parameters, expected and
actual result.
Just running around and pointing a finger to some random code doesn't
help much.

This assumes the the functions in ipcalc.c are actually broken - which
has no one really proved yet.
Maybe there is a bug in there but it is much easier (and time saving) if
the bug report is somewhat more detailed than "I have been told that the
functions in $FILE are buggy for certain cases."
