Ok, that _could_ be a cause of problems with replicated servers. Ivan
Popov already identified one location where ip-addresses were compared
using strcmp instead of memcmp, and servers got confused about their
'identity'. This one was fixed and I've grepped for other possible
places where this mistake got copied to, but haven't found similar
problems yet.

However, Ivan reported that he still was seeing some problems, so there
could likely be a similar problem somewhere else.
