When I implemented the case that name == NULL ( another call for help, I
wasn't aware of your bug report, sorry), the only reference I could find
was this:

| If null is provided in the name parameter, the returned string is the same
| as the string returned by a successful gethostname function call.

Small detail: gethostbyname does not return a string, but this is what I
guessed the intention of the writer was.

Can you point to any documentation where this guarantee is specified?
