Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

With a bit of searching, HOST == support.HOST == 'localhost'. Looking at the 
traceback, it is socket that fails, not telnetlib or its test. Hence the 
clearer title. 

I am still curious what you propose: catch and skip or something else? For 
Windows, I consider a one-time event like this a routine random glitch to be 
ignored at least until it repeats ;-).
