Comment (by RuddO):

 Oooookay... Anyway I see the patch has apparently been accepted.  Remember
 the patch is preliminary -- sometimes WordPress is fronted by a server in
 *another* IP, so 127.0.0.1 isn't necessarily the right candidate for
 validation and branch execution of the code that sets the IP.  Perhaps we
 need to detect an HTTP header (insecure) or another condition that *only*
 is true when Squid is fronting us?  Perhaps a new admin option ("being
 fronted by an accelerated proxy" is in order?  As it currently stands,
 however, it works for me.
