#10609: tachyon fails with .ac in hostname
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When your hostname contains the string {{{.ac}}}, the name of a temporary
 file will also contain this string, and then tachyon's automatic file
 format detection will assume the input file is an ac3d file rather than
 the default tachyon scene file.

 This causes tachyon to fail entirely on my machine in the domain
 {{{.ua.ac.be}}} and is likely also the cause of http://www.mail-
 archive.com/[email protected]/msg11743.html .

 The error message shown is "{{{Unknown version of AC3D Model File
 Format}}}".

 The relevant lines in tachyon's main.c are

 {{{
     else if (strstr(filename, ".ac") || strstr(filename, ".AC")) {
       rc = ParseAC3D(filename, scene); /* Must be an AC3D file */
     }
 }}}
