The UDP sockets in RTIA are being bound to IP address obtained by resolving the localhost address. This is the address used e.g. in
ping `localhost`

In case `localhost` returns a non-resolvable IP address, or 127.0.0.1, the RTIA is bound erroneously. In some cases the RTIA writes "Cannot assign requested address".

I think the TCP/UDP/IP should bind to ALL local addresses unless user explicitly requests some particular address. Binding to `localhost` should be made optional, or removed.

(In a few weeks) I'll suggest a patch for this issue.
