See bug 27170 for the original bug. Prey uses 'hostname' to get the hostname,
and uses this for the default device name. My current machine's hostname is
'aw21'. With wine-1.3.20-230-g456e48e, when running the prey installer, it
thinks my hostname is 'aw2'. As a test, I made a simple exe that returns a
longer string:
austin at aw21 ~ $ cat foo.c 
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("test\n");
return 0;
}

and compiled with mingw32, renamed to hostname.exe and set to native. Prey then
sees 'test' as my full hostname. Something in the current hostname
implementation isn't making prey happy...
