It happens that my host/domainname is

isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aachen.de

look what nv does with this input:

blues>  nv isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aachen.de
Can't resolve host isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aache
^C
blues> 

Something gets chopped. I did a

setenv DISPLAY isdn-kukulies.dialup.rwth-aachen.de:0

before that.
