 ERROR DESCRIPTION:
 When a server issues an accept() call, the stack returns a
 sock_addr structure containing the client's IP address upon
 successful completion.  When an accept() is issued for an SSL
 connection, the stack is incorrectly returning 0.0.0.0 in the
 sin_addr field rather than the actual IP address of the client.

 ****************************************************************
 When a server issues an accept() call, the stack returns a
 sock_addr structure containing the client's IP address upon
 successful completion.  When an accept() is issued for a static
 ssl connection, the stack is incorrectly returning 0.0.0.0 in
 the sin_addr field rather than the actual IP address of the
 client.
 
 PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
 In part TCSOCKRE PASCAL, the SkNametoBsd routine (which
 converts the input address-port pair to BSD) has been updated
 in order to better handle this problem. The code will now
 detect whether the given address is an IPv4-mapped address.
 If so, the address will be converted to an IPv4 address.
 In part FPTCPREQ ASSEMBLE, the inline version of the
 SkNametoBsd routine has been updated with similar changes.
 In part F6TCPREQ ASSEMBLE, the inline version of the
 vSkNametoBsd routine has been updated to implement the same
 code logic as the main vSkNametoBsd routine in part T6SOCKRE
 PASCAL.
