true, but not in ifiter_getifaddrs.c which is used because 
HAVE_GETIFADDRS is
defined in config.h. Thus we are actually looking at an inconsistency of 
libisc.
So actually libisc should be fixed for consistent behaviour. I'll pass 
that on.
Anyhow the extra check makes sure we don't mess up even when the lib
does.
