Hi! Nice to hear from you :-) I already tried to post the following line as a 
possible solution to a possible problem under certain (unknown to me) 
circumstances on the online manual page for GETHOSTBYADDR (but my note 10755 
was rejected):

$TheName=trim(gethostbyaddr($row->THEHOST."               "));

The original line:

$TheName=trim(gethostbyaddr($row->THEHOST));

called using an unresolvable IP like xx.xx.x.xxx returned something like
xx.xx.x.xxxMKJA, where MKJA represents some garbage I discovered was used to 
fill up to 15 chars (the maximum length for an IP).

I guess an IP like 212.59.60.57 should do the job :-)

> gethostbyaddr returns the original IP when an error occurs, but this string is
> always 15 chars long. This means that if the original IP was shorter than that,
> garbage will appear at the end of the line. I've temporarily fixed it by passing
> an IP with 15 blanks added to its end.
