[fpc-pascal] StrToHostAddr in sockets unit accepts negative octets

Running fpc 3.0.4 on Fedora 30. The StrToHostAddr function in the sockets unit accepts negative octets in the source ip address. Consider this program: program ip4_neg; {$mode objfpc}{$H+} uses sockets; var ip4_addr: in_addr; begin ip4_addr := StrToHostAddr('172.-16.32.14'); if
