Comment:

 The  {hostname} trick is for checking the UNIX host name as set with
 sethostname(2). Often enough it doesn't make sense to resolve that name to
 an IP address at all.

 We use this to make make sure that we use the specified UNIX socket only
 when the UNIX hostname of the one who set the server srting and the one
 who reads it matches.

 Or in other words: PA behaves correctly here (unless I misunderstood
 something). Closing bug.
