What's wrong:
Hostname is sometimes set to "(none)".
This is likely to happen if you get assigned an IP address that isn't
in the host table. For reasons I don't completely understand the
MITnet DHCP servers sometimes give out IP addresses like this. The
next time this happens can you see if this is the problem?
