Fun fact: it *is* platform-specific %p formatting, and it came into my
mind because *I'd already figured out and fixed it (incompletely) once
before*:
https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.security/commit/e1d5f7cf375ccdfb8f6207c2bf813ca64c1d7bda

So
https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.security/commit/45e8a8563dcbc82c615fb4c52aad067735580443
fixes the problem for now, and I'll be very happy if anyone can come up with a
saner unit test, but I don't want to even think about this any more
right now.

Except, I just remembered one thing: I was a Very Bad Person and
duplicated[*] the _fmt_address() function in proxy.py and in test_proxy.py.
And now I changed only one of them.

  [*] don't remember why, maybe I thought that the pure-Python module
      couldn't always be imported due to name clashes with the C module?

*sigh*  BRB, fixing.  (While tired and hungry at the end of a long day,
best time for such fixes, to ensure more fixes will be necessary in the
future.)
