2.9.0 release breaks on RHEL/CentOS 6 with puppet 3.8

[davemac30]

I'm getting errors with the new 2.9.0 release. Same thing using master. Revert to 2.8.1 clears the problem.

System info:

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
# rpm -qa ruby puppet
puppet-3.8.7-1.el6.noarch
ruby-1.8.7.374-4.el6_6.x86_64

Error message:

@saz It looks like the same tweak is required in 'https://github.com/saz/puppet-ssh/blob/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/ipaddresses.rb'
