|So returning to the original "oddity" that Socket.gethostbyname returns different parameters in Linux/Windows--is this expected/desired?

I am not sure if it's desired or not, but it follows underlying
library implementation (of getaddrbyname), and it's within (my)
expectation.  If it's not desirable, tell us.
