You might have seen that I changed ifaddrs.c quite a bit.  We got a
report that it crashes if an interface has lots of IPv6 addresses.  I
could confirm that.  After the changes I see no more crashes.
Unfortunately I don't really know which change fixed it.  Anyway, the
new code should be faster and more secure since all copy operations are
first checked.  Please look at the changes.
