115    rdesktop uses gethostname to figure out the hostname, but gethostname
116    under linux returns an error when the hostname is longer than the
117    buffer.  This hack gives gethostname a 64 char buffer and then strips
118    the first 16 chars or upto the first '.' and puts the result in
119    hostname[16].
