Alan, Michael,
In Java_java_net_Inet(4|6)AddressImpl_getLocalHostName
JVM_GetHostName, a.k.a gethostname, is returning ENAMETOOLONG. Then
falling back to use "localhost", the assumption was that failure would
only happen when something went wrong, maybe networking is not setup.
It appears that on many Linux variations the given buffer length
should include space for the null terminator. Our given buffers
already account for this, just need to pass down the correct length to
gethostname.

Looks fine. I guess a regression test isn't practical in this case.
