Oh yes, I think you're right. It even explains the comma that Gene
had in the file until this month. I see that my own ancient host.conf
still had   order hosts,bind   in it in 2000. The example with
<space> in your reference seems to be unusual.

Judging by my ancient email logs (Subject: lines only), there was a
flurry around July 1998 which was about when libc6 started (hamm).

Cheers,
David.
