Ah, that last option is probably what I'm looking for - I thought I  
had that enabled, but possibly not.

I'll have a look myself when I get chance although I'm by no means a  
decent C programmer!  I'm guessing it has to do with the spaces in the  
hostname, as I've had issues with that before (previously on this and  
-devel list.)

If I find anything I'll submit a patch to -devel.

Thanks,

Andy
