>Description:
The w command has a flag -n, which makes it print IP addresses instead
of host names in the FROM field. If a user's entry in the utmp file
contains a hostname with 16 chars, w fails to translate it back to
an IP adress.
>How-To-Repeat:
"w -n" on a system with someone logged in from a host whose name is
16 characters long.
