Inetutils telnet binary fails on amd64

Description
on amd64 (at least multilib) the telnet binary from inetutils fails to do proper DNS resolution for all hosts:
jeremy@valkyrie:~$ telnet localhost Trying 255.255.255.255... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
jeremy@valkyrie:~$ telnet www.google.com Trying 255.255.255.255... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
ping and other netkit binaries work as expected.
This is a blocker for the 1.0.0 release - Ryan might have a patch, which I'm testing shortly

Problem initially reported on IRC by Vladimir Vainer (ferreus). I verified on my own multilib build and the problem does exist.

A few more notes on this one. This bug has been known to exist by the maintainer since at least 1999:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gnu-utils/1999-06/msg00114.html
Also a reference to a discussion on the LFS lists:
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2005-January/025824.html
This is confirmed to be a 64bit bug - I compiled inetutils as a 32-bit binary on my system, and telnet works as expected.
Interim Patch to fix this issue
