[coldsync-hackers] Coldsync fails if hostname isn't in DNS

I'm trying the FreeBSD UVISORIBUFSIZE fix and I noticed something
interesting.

If my hostname doesn't resolve in DNS, I get the following error
message when running coldsync:

Error: Can't look up my address.
gethostbyname: Unknown error: 0
Error: Can't get host ID.

These errors are not present when the name resolves.  It doesn't
matter if I'm doing a normal sync or a network sync, I get the same
response.  

I have the FreeBSD port (coldsync-2.2.5) installed.

Jack.
