Rob,
I haven't looked at the changes yet, but I'm curious about the decision
to use getifaddrs. I know that there was a discussion started at one
point to determine what Apple's JDK6 is doing to retrieve the local
machines IP information. Did that discussion lead to getifaddrs?

Hi folks,
Mac seems to have trouble looking up local hostnames using getaddrinfo
unless a domain is set. The solution is to add a check with getifaddrs .
This fix replaces a usage of _ALLBSD_SOURCE with MACOSX. I haven't seen
a canonical answer on whether this is the way to go so I figured trial
by fire might get the discussion going.
