IP parsing results in an odd value

On my computer, the following line:

System.Net.IPAddress result = default(System.Net.IPAddress);
bool success = System.Net.IPAddress.TryParse("234.34.034.004", out result);

creates the following results

  1. success evaluates to true
  2. The IP Address result returned is 234.34.28.4

What is happening?

It appears that the "34" is being interpreted as octal because it has a leading zero. (The 4 probably also is being interpreted as octal, but its representation is the same in both bases).

34 in octal is 28 in decimal, thus the output.
