For some reason my machine wants to call itself 'localhost', and yours
wants to call itself 'localhost.localdomain', but I think that's OK.  I'd
say that we can consider the test to have passed.

Neither do I :-(.  Basically all it does is run a serversocktest, and 10
socktests that try to connect to it.  Can you try running serversocktest
and socktest manually to see if they work on your system?  You can run
serversocktest by itself; by default, it binds to port 9876.  You can just
telnet to it ('telnet localhost 9876') and send it two lines of text, and
it should say hello to you.

For socktest, try './socktest localhost 9876 test'; it should connect to
the running serversocktest, do the same thing that you did via telnet, and
print the output.
