That was a known issue in 2.8.5 which is supposed to have been
fixed in 2.8.6:

2005-10-17 (2.8.6dev.14)
* use h_addr_list[0] rather than h_addr in HTTCP.c for POSIX compatibility

This is a listing for 2.8.5, which has
            memcpy((void *)&soc_in->sin_addr, phost->h_addr, phost->h_length);
at line 1329.

What is the problem you are having with 2.8.6?
