I'm assuming that this still needs doing.

[issue16652] socket.getfqdn docs are not explicit enough about the algorithm.

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

From the docs it isn't quite clear if getfqnd() does the equivalent of:

  gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')

or

  gethostbyaddr(gethostbyname(gethostname()))

It matters which it is, when debugging a host's name configuration and DNS 
server problems.
