hostinfo.c apparently is modified recently.

and there seems to be a bug in it. As it is now, when compiled, it will
always say:
Cannot resolve name 'xxx' due to network difficulties.
The problem seems to lie in line 155. Seems the "=" should be a "==".
At least when I made the change, the excutable worked. Can someone
clarify whether it is or it is not a bug?
Thanks.
