>Description:
	OpenSSH as installed on alpha has a 64 bit issue that prevents the
	name resolution from working.
>How-To-Repeat:

$ ssh -v foo.bar
SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f).

>Fix:
Reading the source, this is a generic 64 bit issue and can be traced to
fake-getaddrinfo.c:89 where -1 is incorrectly assumed to be = -1U.  The
fix is to replace -1 with INADDR_NONE as specified in inet(3).
