[Hostname-devel] Bug#796922: hostname -A print no output if fqdn longer as 45 char

[Pascal]

Package: hostname
Version: 3.15
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

if I have a hostname longer as 45 char, hostname -A print only an empty line.

root at deb7:~#
root at deb7:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
172.17.0.31	01234567890123456789012345678901234567.local	deb7

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
root at deb8:~#
root at deb8:~# vim /etc/hosts
root at deb8:~# hostname -A
01234567890123456789012345678901234567.local 
root at deb8:~#
root at deb8:~# vim /etc/hosts
root at deb8:~# hostname -A
012345678901234567890123456789012345678.local 
root at deb8:~#
root at deb8:~# vim /etc/hosts
root at deb8:~# hostname -A

root at deb8:~#

With vim, I only modyfied the hostname

I see the same problem on Debian 7.8
hostname: 3.11
libc6: 2.13-38+deb7u8

Regards

Pascal
