Re: InetAddr.getLocalHost() [glibc?] bug workaround

[Roland McGrath]

I have a wild suspicion that this is the same problem gated had on redhat 5.0,
and is because there is someplace some code that looks like:

        #ifdef IFF_LOOPBACK
                if (flags & IFF_LOOPBACK)
                ... /* skip this interface */
        #endif

and the headers needed to get that bit have changed somehow.  I don't
recall the precise details.  Worth checking though.
