bash, with the Sergey's latest patches, seems to have a bug. From the
command line, this works:

     % export HOST=`hostname` 
     % printenv HOST
           DULCEA                 # this is fine, notice all caps
     % export DISPLAY=$HOST:0.0
     % printenv DISPLAY
           DULCEA:0.0

but if I stick these two lines in my .bashrc
         export HOST=`hostname`
         export DISPLAY=$HOST:0.0
     
I get this:
     % printenv HOST
           dulcea                 # fine, but notice lower case, now
     % printenv DISPLAY
           :0.0ea                 # oops!
