nfs: bad net address bug remains

Another issue that you might want to look into before the release.

When running on the snapshot from yesterday, 
(1.13.0-DEVELOPMENT #0: Sun Jul 13 00:54:52 CEST 2008)

when a host cannot resolve, we get this error

  # mount 10.0.0.10:/home /mnt
  nfs: bad net address 10.0.0.10

If the host in DNS or /etc/hosts on the client, it mounts fine by either
IP address or host name.  It only occurs if it cannot resolve.

I found a posting, that sounds related, from back in February that said,

  :mount -t nfs 6pack:/ /mnt
  :
  :will fail and issue a warning about bad net address 6pack. There is a 
  :patch below which might be helpful for fixing this.

and apparently Matt committed a patch.  

The problem does not exist on my 1.10.1-RELEASE machine.  However, it
appears that it or a similar bug has been re-introduced.
