I've committed a low-risk fix for this for the pending
release, which detects unix: or local: hostspecs early
on in pmlogger's life, and does the gethostname() call
(previously this was only done for "-h localhost").

There are wider (host naming) problems though, of which
this is but one small part - I'll send further mail soon
and hopefully we can all brain-storm and start tackling
those in the next point release.

cheers.
