ntoa, not aton:
Just translates an IP address into a string. I tried tracing it down
once and it happens if the socket doesn't connect right, all the way, or
something, so there's no ip address information. I didn't know exactly
how this happens so I left it.
It's infrequent and doesn't hurt anything. Just noisy.
