The actual `bug' is that if the host has no OS, then it doesn't list
OS, vendor, or model. (If there is an OS and a vendor but no model, it
will print the OS and vendor.) But it's not really a bug, because it
does that on purpose.
Network: there are a handful of machines in the database with no OS
field for which vendor/model information might be useful to be able to
see (routers, x terminals, notebook docks, etc). It's a pretty simple
fix if you'd like this behavior changed.
