You only need to pick the most relevant address to send to.

Yes, you would need to re-port the software to work on SunOS 4.1.3.
There is a porting manual, should you feel the urge to undertake the
task.  It won't specifically tell you how to fix this error, though.

Most the rest of us, have fixed the problem, bu upgrading to Solaris
2.5.1, or later.  Offhand, that may be the easiest solution to this
problem.
