I'm verifing this with 2.7.5 YMMV.

This is done with uname(2) not with read.

rxvt tries to read my PWD in some strange way, have a look:
 read(5, "myhost:~/mypwd # ", 8192)       = 16
 read(5, 0x80698d4, 8176)                = -1 EAGAIN
(myhost, mypwd substituted for clearness)

Maybe I'm terribly wrong but you meant to refer to /etc/HOSTNAME
And it's really just the hostname not the FQDN - my machine doesn't seem
to know about it's DN. Have a look at uname(1)
