Yup. I run virtual machines (VMware, not Smalltalk) for development,
and that also tends to result in a lot of interfaces and IP address.
My desktop machine has 3 active interfaces and 3 addresses. One of my
virtual machines has 2 interfaces, with a total of 5 IP addresses, and
the other has 2 interfaces and 2 addresses.

We should probably just get rid of that primitive entirely.
