 I'm guessing this could have been taken care of in time for
 the FreeBSD 7 release, but was forgotten.
 
 IPv6 usage is increasing, and frankly, utmp/wtmp is a mess
 right now.
 
 If there is no good reason to not increase UT_HOSTSIZE in
 -current now, why not do it so that we will have IPv6 usable
 utmp/wtmp for the 8.x releases?
