But what's the "itchy /etc/hosts bug"? Is that http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7929 ?
I would assume so. I don't know if telling them is going to fix anything, though. For new games, I hope they're not using gethostbyname(gethostname()) anyway. For the other issues that are hitting us with that bug, all seem to be valid winsock programming. I'd rather have someone talk to them about better overall wine compatibility.
Right, Diablo 2 does use gethostbyname in a bad way. But I think distros should just manage the /etc/hosts file better.
