There is a bug in our version of notes--I would like to know
if it is our very own bug, or if others have found and fixed it.

Notes  does not correctly handle very long machine names, especially
with lots of dot-affixes.  The machine name trails off into garbage
characters on the index page, and if you try to read such a note
you get a segmentation fault--not nice.  My guess is that somebody
is writing the machine name into a too-small character array.
Does anybody have a fix?  TIA
