Hey, you might already know this, but the olc server doesn't seem to
be dealing with long hostnames -- it's sending out a lot of messages
like:

(Authentication: Authentic from host: MATISSE.MIT.EDU)
Message From: OLC Service
Can't resolve name of host 'TEN-THOUSAND-DOLLAR-BILL.MIT.ED'


It's also sending out a bunch of:

(Authentication: Authentic from host: MATISSE.MIT.EDU)
Message From: OLC Service
swrite: select: Bad file number


which are bugging me.


I think either or both of those might be things that Scott Thorne
fixed once :-) (and conveniently enough, he's still on the mailing
list!)
