thanks for the info. So, basically, there is no particular reason I'm too
blind to see not to fix the parser to accept hostnames with leading
numbers, e.g., just lack of time/resources? I am asking because then we
could fix it in our product downstream and maybe contribute the fix to
upstream.

Thanks, Thomas
