The festival page above says "localhost" is allowed by default.  There
was a big dustup a few months back on the debian-devel list about
"localhost" vs. "localhost.localdomain"  See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/10/msg00387.html for example.

The short answer is gethostbyname() should return localhost not
localhost.localdomain for festival to function out of the box.
