Previously values greater than 255 were implicitly truncated. Add some stricter checking to reject addresses with components >255.
With the input "1234192.168.1.1" the old behaviour would truncate the address to 192.168.1.1. New behaviour rejects the string outright and returns 0.0.0.0, which for the purposes of IP addresses can be considered an error.
Signed-off-by: Chris Packham judge.packham@gmail.com --- This was part of my long running IPv6 patchset (which I promise I'll get back to someday). But I feel this stands on it's own merits.
