It is not actually a "problem".  But in order to find out in which file
the results are located a program needs to run gethostname().  This is
ok for a user to find the file, since he/she knows the name.  But for
a program it is unconvenient since it requires to have "networking code"
though it has nothing to do with networking!

Thanks, Stefan.
