come to think of it, should I even be adding a test for this behavior? I mean,
the test showcases the changes that have been done, but if Linux maintainers
decided to reject 127.x.x.255 addresses one day and this test started failing,
that wouldn't qualify as a JDK bug.
Should I remove the tests and use the noreg-cleanup label instead?
