The real problem is that latter call.  Just to make sure everybody is aware
of the problems with this module, if anyone thinks that Resolver_GetHost is
short for Resolver_GetHostByAddr, they would be wrong.
Resolver_GetHostByName is the blocking lookup, Resolver_GetHost is the
asynchronous lookup.  It is not worth supporting any other interface, IMHO.
Other resolver modules had the second SWI be the blocking gethostbyaddr()
implementation.

The ANT SWIs are documented - there is (was) a page on their website.
