Well, one would have thought.  Unfortunately, it seems that whatever test is
being used has allowed the same problem to slip through on at least three
occasions that I came up with from the past year. That means the test isn't
testing what it needs to test in order to ensure that we don't get this result
from the code.  It's a system problem, not a people problem; I have no doubt
that the usual suite of tests were being done. However, we need a test that
will tell us whether or not a CU will see 127.0.0.1 results instead of the
actual originating IP and UA, and it appears that particular test isn't
incorporated into the pre-release QA check yet.  I have faith that a method for
testing this, in order to ensure that this particular question is adequately
answered, will be developed.
