Hello Team,

I found something weird today, i tried to ssh into a box with the below
command, instead of throwing an error it filled the middle to octet
with zeros. 

Looks like ssh is greed and tries to left-pad everything with zero
until it gets 4 octets. See the below two examples

1.
hostname $/usr/local/bin/ssh -v 172.10
OpenSSH_7.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2j  26 Sep 2016
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/name/.ssh/config
debug1: /Users/name/.ssh/config line 2: Applying options for *
debug1: Reading configuration data /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to 172.10 [172.0.0.10] port 22.
^C
hostname $


2.
hostname $ssh -v 172
OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/name/.ssh/config
