DNS (as indicated by hostinfo's interpretation of the HINFO
records) that the machines
w20-575-4, 17-18, 20, 23-28
are SPARCSTATION-CLASSICs, when they are indeed SPARCSTATION-5s.
This results in sendbug reporting the wrong type.
Actually, sendbug uses machtype -c to determine what type of machine
it is. that has nothing to do with the Hostinfo at all. I seem to
recall reporting, as a bug, that machtype -c said SPARC5's were
SPARC/Classics, a while ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the
resolution was.
