I did say it was a Solaris box...

I don't know. 'Twas a local client, and there was no reason why
gethostbyaddr() should have been failing to necessitate such a
hack, and there was some reason why I couldn't fix it properly.

Anyway, the point is, if things get desperate, u9fs.c's own
protection need not be a significant problem.
