Possible Release Blocker

A number of proxy test cases in test_urllib2 are now failing with:

ERROR: test_proxy (test.test_urllib2.HandlerTests)

Traceback (most recent call last):

    if hostIP is None:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'hostIP' referenced before assignment

The root cause is the problem identified in Issue7044.  This is now 
showing up in test_urllib2 because of the changes in urllib2 introduced 
by Issue6894 which was checked into the release-26maint branch during 
the window between the release of 2.6.3 and the freezing for 2.6.4.
