    Bingo.  the 'hostname' global is NULL.  Now the question is why.

    I recommend adding a couple of fprintf's to src/main.c in the contrib
    code temporarily to test.

    First, I recommend the patch below (as a test).  If xgethostname()
    is returning NULL then add debugging fprintf's to the xgethostname()
    function until you track down the reason why.
