As I recall several patches that went into src/viced/host.c (and possibly
some related changed in other files) happened to try to fix this. Those
changes should all be in the last 1.2.9 release candidate. A diff of that
against 1.2.8 would probably work, but if not I can try to hunt out the
deltas tomorrow.
