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?
