It looks like a 64-bit issue. If it really crashes at x->x_addr = ntohl(*(long *)hp->h_addr); then possibly the long type is too long or the h_addr field is not a long in 64-bit or h_addr is not properly initialized, so ntohl() looks in the wrong place and segfaults. I never get any such crashes on 32-bit systems, but so far I haven't tried it on 64-bit.
I just committed a change to tcpclient.c in svn that might fix it, changing long to uint32_t to make sure it accesses a 32-bit field.
