I believe I've found the problem! There is a hash called %swordsmen that defines a pair of 'high => 10'. It appears that a function is calling getInt, which uses %wordsToInts to process hostname, turning my hostname of 'high' into '10'. I'm going to play around with it some more to see if this is the case. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJJqAf0AAoJEJWxx7fgsD+C3dcH/2gWwHoDG7tIeBN2NV6Gq8L5 sMOgI/QKqRcOFWEefnc8PQDZ6yj66fAu12MuTEcUi6CLP1XaHcqjjOdeVnu4giDd 3lJl8Bk7LdTjpz+TAF/vlj5D0ERMIVftrF73JoaTBEp5QeNFwcHu9UywVy1I4/KH FkrPuS9lSW6gSdovo7ZN+Q0ok9ooD70grhrzXg6355sNONt1zbbWV/7AkKip357T H6BpNx4xeS0CzyG8hAdkNAbjYd7MAilxX2p8ihLNdjLDmh25WvaBYL3MkRjIMt38 ENuS64vODniIUe2I2FAQ7iyVMoHULXdWfdvqoLLK8CiQ2cEMH2p1n6XvWR54Mg8= =Tco2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
