>Description:
		
	usr/src/lib/libc/net/ethers.c claims to be an implemenation a la Sun.
	But ether_ntoa returns a string different from the one returned by
	SunOS 4 and AIX.
>How-To-Repeat:
	If ether_ntoa is called with an struct ether_addr containing the
	ethernet address 08:00:20:f:47:11

	SunOS will return a string "8:0:20:f:47:11" but
	NetBSD will return "08:00:20:0f:47:11".
