hostname again.

[James Morrison]

 I finally got to understanding the change that was made in 
libc/hurd/set-host.c by Roland a couple months ago.  However, his fix
still has the same problem.  I have the debian libc0.2 package
installed which is from Jan 04 so I assume it has Rolands fix.  

Before I get to the patch, here is an interesting error:

Fatal error, aborting.
load average of 17 is too high

Anyway, I think this should fix the problem:
