[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51830] uname nodename sometimes gives "localhost" instead of pc name

[Avinoam Kalma]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #51830 (project octave):

Checking again, I saw that in version 4.2.1 under Win-10,
I always get the correct nodename, and it does not depend on the number of
Octave instances (I have tried 1-5).

In 4.3.0+ (dev) I get always "localhost", and again, it does not depend on the
number of Octave instances. 

In the help of uname I see:
"If successful, ERR is 0 and MSG is an empty string."

On both 4.2.1 & dev, ERR is 0, but MSG is not empty.

There is still a regression problem:

On 4.2.1


>> gethostname
ans = Kalma-PC


On dev:

>> gethostname
ans = unknown
