A skip() stating that we don't yet understand why the test fails is implicitly
an open action item. This one isn't open. Save future developers the research.
It looks as though someone tried to reactivate the skip()ped test by replacing
"google.com" with "linux.org" and deleting the skip() call. Unfortunately the
edit went wrong: the instance of "google.com" in the skip() call was replaced,
and the line declaring hostStr = "google.com" was deleted. Removing the local
hostStr variable broke the compile. (Possible merge glitch?)
On the above assumption, I commented out the skip() call, reinstated the
hostStr declaration and replaced "google.com" with "linux.org" therein.
