Tom wrote me personally that this document lists "0". Haven't been there
for a long time and I wrote to Tom I'm sorry.
But I still hold the statement that putting 0 instead of local
hostname there is nonsense, if you have programs that do depend on
$TCPLOCALHOST more than using this string for logging (as tcpserver
itself).
