It's okay for getLocalHost to return a loopback address. If I read your 
bug report correctly, the issue is that the 
NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress is returning null so we should skip 
that interface. Can you bring this to nio-dev and we can discuss a 
cleaner way to do this that shouldn't skip the entire test.
