I only now noticed that gethostname will not always correspond to the Hostname
property, at least since c779a442 (released with v213)... Should hostnamed
maybe have one more property EffectiveHostname that is guaranteed to have the
same value as gethostname?

How can things like the hostname be so complicated? :-)

Great, I am happy to hear that this was just a bug, and not some fundamental
limitation, as I had feared.  Thanks!
