There was some problems with resolving the local host name & IP under
unxi/linux/osx/ios
as it would get an array of ipv4 & ipv6 names and present something
unexpected to the caller.
Oddly an acceptable solution would be to just return 127.0.0.1 and be
done with it. But no-one
knew what to do so the easiest thing was to flip it off.
