I think Harmony does the right thing as spec requires, the difference is
caused by underlying system call, so it should be acceptable, i.e., the
test needs to be rewritten or excluded.
+1 from me

I think Harmony does the right thing as spec requires, the difference is
caused by underlying system call, so it should be acceptable, i.e., the
test needs to be rewritten or excluded. But this issue worth a non-bug
difference together with getHostName()'s different behavior when
SecurityManager presents[1](thanks Alexei Fedotov helped to find this
link and commented to HARMONY-1664:))
Harmony-73 is another issue, which is actually caused by HARMONY-84 and
irrelevant with getHostName() method.
