Description

When a syslog appender is set up with a host/ip that is unreachable, the application cores.

The fault appears to lie in inetaddress.cpp, line #84, which does a strlen() call on a variable that is assumed to be set. The return code of the prior call to apr_getnameinfo() is not checked for success.
