according to your machine, it is still running 8.3.8, not 8.3.10.
There is a known bug in 8.3.8 and earlier versions of 8.3 that
occasionally cause hesiod to fail. You can temporarily work around
the bug by running the command:
hostinfo clio
but if you logout and let your workstation update tonight, the problem
should go away. Please let us know if it doesn't.
