--- Comment #1 from Sorin Sbarnea <[email protected]> ---
I was able to find a workaround and also a way to replicate.

The hostname on osx was setup to a dyndns entry that was no longer resolving,
*but* no other application was affected by this, and when I say no other I
include all the usual Unix stack too, postgres, nginx, tomcat,... 

Still jmeter failed to start.

Debug: scutil --get HostName

Replicate with:  sudo scutil --set HostName some.example.com

Workaround: sudo cutil --set HostName localhost

One important remark, this "type" of hostname cannot be changed via GUI even it
it was originally setup via dynamic hostname configuration. 

So, there is a good change that other users will encounter the same problem
some other time.

Better is to raise a warning if hostname is not resolvable and to fallback to
localhost or 127.0.0.1 as these would always work.
