Actually I think what it tries to do, is to find the FQDN of the machine
it's running on.

	http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emacs/browse_thread/thread/783fe03168a5c168/640f9279be617a10

The workaround, according to the above URLs), is to put the FQDN of the
laptop into its hosts-file.

(I haven't tried this for myself)
