 Keywords:  ipv6     |
---------------------+------------------------
 Given this scripts:

 {{{
 print to_addr("5.01.04.05");
 print to_addr("5.1.4.5");
 }}}

 2.0:

 {{{
 bro ./a.bro
 5.1.4.5
 5.1.4.5
 }}}

 topic/v6-addr (and soon master):

 {{{
 error: Bad IP address: 5.01.04.05
 ::
 5.1.4.5
 }}}

 Not sure how important this is but it triggers a test-suite difference,
 and generally be liberal in accepting input is preferable..
