Hmm, we've been through all this before and I'm still pretty convinced
that gethostname is not something we should use on Solaris 2. The
reason there's no prototype for it (Solaris 2 does have full
prototyping) is because it's part of the BSD compatibility library.

NOTES
Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only appli-
cations written on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces
with any of the system libraries or in multi-thread applica-
tions is unsupported.

You've hidden the warning now and this may well bite us when we have a
threaded server. My OS abstraction example explicity used hostname
resolution as an example, it should use uname were possible (more
widely available) and gethostname if not.
On of the things I'd like to get cracking on but 1.2 is effectively in
feature freeze indefinately.
