[issue27612] socket.gethostbyname resolving octal IP addresses incorrectly

[Xiang Zhang]

Xiang Zhang added the comment:

A similar bug report can be seen at https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/8362. There someone makes a conclusion that getaddrinfo (Python seems to use getaddrinfo to implement gethostbyname) doesn't work correctly with octal form. They finally ignore this inconsistent behaviour.
