I also need some help with using the function, as it works very

As Mark suggested, perhaps a bug in the fpc implementation (fpc does not
normally use lic for it's syscalls)? Try defining the function manually,
using libc's equivalent and see if it produces the same result?
The only context I've looked at that in was a server program which under
some circumstances reported the address of an IP4 client formatted as
IP6. It wouldn't be easy for me to get back into that at the moment, but
I reported an ordering problem (Mantis 22605) and had my concerns partly
allayed.
