So, if I actually do this:
   ip a del 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo

Then the tests indeed crash.

But now that modern kernels apparently always hand one a working
"127.0.0.1", do we really want to bother with this?

I guess one can change all the tests to use ::1 instead of
127.0.0.1, but that will just introduce other failure modes.
