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.
