Yes, it's wrong, but it is commonly done on windows and on unix machines
in the initial installation steps. It should not be left that way
unless the machine has no network interfaces.
getLocalHost() isn't broken, it's doing exactly what your machine's
/etc/hosts was telling it to do.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
