That would cause the problem. Of course, it kind of begs the question
of how hostname on your machine returns two lines. It can't return two
hostnames (at least, not according to the man page on any system I have
access to), but perhaps can return a hostname with a newline in it
(although hostnames aren't allowed to have newlines in them).
I can't seem to make OS X's hostname return two lines - how did you set
this up?
