Ulrich told me privatly that using a dynamic buffer for gethostname in
test-netdb.c is broken.

Roland, why did you make this change?  According to the Austin Draft
the previous version was fine.  The only change might be to use
HOST_NAME_MAX instead of MAXHOSTNAMELEN.

On a Linux system gethostname (NULL, 0) will return 0 without setting
ENAMETOOLONG,

Andreas
