gethostname() in 2.01 under w95 returns (for example) 
"currieb        ", which I beleive is not really any good. Can host 
names have any spaces in them at all? Trailing spaces certainly don't 
make any sence.

Here's a patch to cause gethostname() to strip trailing spaces from 
the machine name when int 0x21, ax=0x5e00 succeeds (does not affect 
HOSTNAME from the environment).
