System.out.println(InetAddress.getLocalHost());
generate a security exception, which is good.
What is not so good is the text of that security exception:
com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Test.init]: cannot access "hostname.goes.here"
kinda defeat the purpose of blocking the method in the first place.
(although you only get the hostname, which might not be resolvable to an IP from an outside DNS.. )
