Comment (by zooko):

 Thanks, ioerror!

 Also last night I posted to the grsec mailing list asking about this:
 http://grsecurity.net/pipermail/grsecurity/2011-June/001083.html

 So, why doesn't grsec provide a way for apps to learn what IP address is
 configured on certain interfaces without thereby giving that app any
 broader power that it could abuse?
