Hi,

I've noticed this patch. I don't think it should be applied, as it
contradicts RFC 1122, "Requirements for Internet Hosts --
Communication Layers":

"(g)  { 127, <any> }

                 Internal host loopback address.  Addresses of this form
                 MUST NOT appear outside a host."

RFC 1122 is one of the relatively few Internet Standards, specifically
Standard Number 3:

Regards,
Mark.
