traceroute: hostname "hlfxns0188w-099192079201.pppoe-d..." is too long

It appears to be a long-term bug (feature?) that I can see even on a 5.4 (circa 2005) and 6.2 systems. I don't have 7.4 or 8.x machine on hand to check those, but a quick search didn't reveal any PR on this issue. (It is possible that it has been fixed quietly by the developers.)
