test_get_connections_all failure on OS X r1054

Error in test case test_get_connections_all() on OS X r1054 

===================================================
ERROR: test_get_connections_all (__main__.TestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/test_psutil.py", line 145, in inner
    return fun(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "test/test_psutil.py", line 1034, in test_get_connections_all
    s.bind((conn.local_address[0], 0))
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind
error: [Errno 49] Can't assign requested address

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Printing the address and conn type when this exception occurs shows: 

conn.local_address[0] is 192.168.101.129 and conn.type is 1

I'm not sure what this means or what the bind to the local address is supposed 
to be testing in the first place.

conn.type == 1 stands for TCP.
The test makes sure that all the local addresses returned by psutil can be used 
to create a listening socket.

s.bind((conn.local_address[0], 0))

0, here, means, "bind on any port".
I don't know why the test fails. Is 192.168.101.129 associated with a valid 
network interface? 
What happens if you manually do:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.socket().bind(("192.168.101.129", 0))

...?

Is this still failing?
