>Description:

On one of our machines, the output of 'netstat -r' produces fancy
characters in the resolved name list:

 | simons@atlas:~$ netstat -r
 | Routing tables
 |
 | Internet:
 | Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use    Mtu  Interface
 | default            thangorodrim       UGS        63 14689532      -  de0
 | localhost          localhost          UH         16   609191      -  lo0
 | [...]
 | www.vision360.de   localhost          UGHS        0       10      -  lo0 =>
 | G@Q@h@/32    link#1             UC          0        0      -  de0

When calling 'netstat -rn', the output is correct, though:

 | simons@atlas:~$ netstat -rn
 | Routing tables
 |
 | Internet:
 | Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use    Mtu  Interface
 | default            194.97.154.30      UGS        45 14694785      -  de0
 | 127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH         14   609197      -  lo0
 | [...]
 | 194.97.154.111     127.0.0.1          UGHS        0       10      -  lo0 =>
 | 194.97.154.111/32  link#1             UC          0        0      -  de0

I can't find any mistake in the name server either:

 | simons@atlas:~$ nslookup 194.97.154.111
 | Server:  cys.de
 | Address:  194.97.154.1
 |
 | Name:    www.vision360.de
 | Address:  194.97.154.111

Is this a bug in netstat (maybe caused by the numerics in the domain
name)? I checked all other possible errors I could come up with but
couldn't find any other explanation.
