This is still a very strange behavior and I can't see why this still
shouldn't return a IP address.
if the broadcast, network and host address are all the same, that should
call for a exceptional behavior from the library.
Because 127.0.0.1/32 is still a usable host address, and it's a way of
isolating a host on a network device for instance, but it's still a host
address in there.. Or am i loosing my marbles?
