Was that perchance an IPv6 address, and the code is coercing it to IPv4 and only reporting the first 4 bytes of it? I scared the begeebers out of myself once when my 'last login from' field had a hostname belonging to a DSL line in another timezone - took an hour for my heart rate to come down after I realized that the reported hostname was a PTR lookup of an IPv4 address that the bit pattern happened to be the first 4 bytes of my IPv6 address.. ;) (Not sure how you get a leading 2.0.0 out of that error though...)
