The natural solution would be to address the source, in inet_addr_local.c,
but that will affect just about every program including master(8).
Obviously, changing this requires extensive cross-platform tests.
First I need a system that exhibits this behavior (FreeBSD does
not), then I need time, which is unlikely to be available with this
week's expected storm damage and outages.
The courageous may want to edit inet_addr_local.c, and replace
the inet_addr_list_append() calls with something that copies
only up to but not including the '%'. It's not kosher to change
the data from the system library.
