Here's what I think will fix it. Somebody in the following situation
should test it (with and without the patch):

As I understand it, the bug should show up on relays that don't set
Address to an IP address (so they need to resolve their Address line or
their hostname to guess their IP address), and their hostname or Address
line fails to resolve -- at that point they'll pick a random 4 bytes
out of memory and call that their address. At the same time, relays that
*do* successfully resolve their address will ignore the result, and only
come up with a useful address if their interface address happens to be
a public IP address.

So much for backporting only well-tested bugfixes. :( Thanks for pointing
it out quickly at least!
