The fileserver crashes on amd64_linux2[46] (and probably also 
ia64_linux2[46]) when tracing is turned on (TSTP signal).

The reason: inet_ntoa() is not declared anywhere and therefore assumed 
returning an int, but the format string in ViceLog expects a char * 
(which on some architectures are not the same thing).
Judging from what gets included in the various .c files calling 
inet_ntoa() I suspect the vlserver could choke on that as well.

The attached patch #includes <arpa/inet.h> in afsutil.h which covers 
all cases where that file is not included directly and looks like a 
reasonable place given that it defines ViceLog et al. This is also 
what happens in other places where inet_ntoa() is called.

Given that there is an afs_inet_ntoa, one might alternatively
#define inet_ntoa(x) afs_inet_ntoa((proper typecast) x)
at that point. It has to be done *after* including arpa/inet.h so that 
the #define does not interfere with a later declaration.

I actually wonder why hardly anybody uses the '%I' format instead 
which util/snprintf.c understands - perhaps because a move to IPv6 (if 
ever) would be more complicated?
