octal digits in IP addresses

[ptbnfns]

Hi !
I found a small BUG (or it is not?)
VLC 0.8.5
In UDP multicast IP addresses if in the beginning of number contained 0 (zero) VLC treat number as octal

for example
udp://@233.32.240.011:5050
equal
udp://@233.32.240.9:5050

Is it a BUG ?
I never see anybody use octal system in IP addresses.

Now I download and install 0.8.6.d
And the BUG still exist.

[funman]

it is a normal behaviour of C language to treat numbers beginning with a 0 as octal

why do you put the 0 ?

[ptbnfns]

Of course it is normal for "C" but it's strange for IP.
In our network forum it cause muddle when someone accidentally write 0.
Peoples not familiar with "C" was confused when find this feature.
