No problem.  I (and I suspect others) had noticed this code (bonus 
points for the TODO annotation which we've found most useful across the 
life of PCP) but I had not appreciated the subtle implications before 
digging into the qa/169 failures.
Fortunately the result was benign and probably not visible to anyone 
outside QA land.

I'm not sure we can purge all the reverse DNS lookups, but the one that 
had been in the pmcd trace diagnostics code from the epoch was 
definitely lead in the saddle bags.
