It might be possible to test without changing code if you add the
usehostname option and set the system hostname to a null string.
I'd tried this on my test system, got an error from the hostname
command, and presumed it wouldn't accept a null string. After I'd sent
the previous mail, I found some things were no longer working, so I
checked and the change had taken effect, "hostname" by itself gave a
blank line.
So at the risk of breaking stuff that relies on a valid hostname, give
it a try.
