Well...I'll work on getting the nmh port modified to avoid uname(3). It's already conditionalized on a HAVE_UNAME define, so just turning that define off should take care of it. It looks like it'll use gethostname(3) instead and the calling code passes a BUFSIZ (1024) char buffer in...the gethostname(3) man page warns that it's limited to 256 chars, so that should do the trick, I think.
