/source/4.3/ucb/lpr/displayq.c:
70 gethostname(name,sizeof(name)-1);
71 name[sizeof(name)-1] = '\0';
72 if (hp = gethostbyname(name))
73 (void) strncpy(name,hp->h_name,sizeof(name));
name is a pointer to char, not an array of char, so sizeof(name) is 4, not
the number of bytes in the array pointed to by name.
This code is only executed if there is no defined "rm" (remote machine) field
in pcap, so it shouldn't be executed too often.
