Description Edwin Groothuis 2000-11-12 11:50:00 UTC

	As described in freebsd-questions last week:
	telnet dumps core when trying to connect to
	www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk

Fix: Note: it will *still* crash now on systems which don't have
	MAXHOSTNAMELEN defined in sys/params.h.
How-To-Repeat: 
	[~] edwin@p6>telnet www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk 80
	Trying 194.42.244.17...
	Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I corrected the definition of MAXHOSTNAMELEN in the ifdef'ed code 
as well. Thanks for the bug report.
