Er, er, er, host_aton() is a function inside Exim. There is no
documentation of it, except for its comments. It is defined in the
host.c module and it is supposed to return a length. Is this the
problem? Is there some name clash somewhere? Surely a local function
should take preference over a library function anyway?
Or have I misunderstood?
