INADDR_* macros are defined in host byte order

From Michael Heimpold:
Just a nitpick: the INADDR_* macros are defined in host byte order,
compare INADDR_LOOPBACK. So it would be reasonable to wrap this with
htonl(INADDR_ANY). However, every experienced socket programmer should
know that INADDR_ANY equals 0.0.0.0, passing it through htonl does not
have any effect.

Fix remote buffer overflow vulnerability on write requests

Protects against crafted write requests with a large quantity but a small
byte count. If address + quantity was in the mapping space of the server
and quantity greater than the response size, it was possible to crash
the server.

The sleep/flush sequence improves the handling of following requests.
