I misread; it first checks if the hostname matches, and if so, decides
it can reuse the current connection; if the hostname doesn't match,
though, it then does further investigation to see whether the underlying
address is the same. The check wasn't to preven this situation, it was
just meant as a sort of shortcut to avoid looking up IP addresses when
the hostname's the same.
