Description pm 2001-09-04 00:20:01 UTC 
	On systems with a very long hostname (>34 chars), a2ps will fail 
	because gethostname(3) reports ENOMEM when the user-supplied buffer
	is too small. The xgethostname() routine in lib/xgethostname.c doesn't
	handle this.

	Maybe it would be better to use MAXHOSTNAMELEN from <sys/param.h> and
	don't adapt the buffer size?

	The included patch fixes PR/26909.

Fix: chdir to $A2PS_ROOTDIR/lib and patch -p0 the following lines:

How-To-Repeat: 	
	Set host name of your machine to >34 chars and execute
	a2ps from the shell.
