For me it also fails, in a slightly different way:

#   Failed test at t/95-sys-traceroute.t line 71.
#          got: undef
#     expected: '1'

#   Failed test at t/95-sys-traceroute.t line 72.
#          got: undef
#     expected: '192.168.0.33'


(The first test is the number of hops to the result of hostname(), the
second the IP address of this first hop.)


The reason it fails for me (during normal build, I can run it
successfully manually), is that I'm firewalling off everything except
localhost.

In the original case the failure reason seems to be 2 IP addresses
for the host in the virtual machine.


It seems to me that this test is too naïve for real world situations,
as we've already discovered two failure modes, and there are probable
more. Therefore I suggest we skip this test (or mark it as TODO).
