	Are you *sure* that the customer's domain is not listed
	in the  'localnames'  database ?

	If you are sure, then perhaps I should have a deeper look
	into your system.   To see what is going in with the
	2.99.50s11 installations.  Especially, why I don't see
	any problem at my DEC UNIX platforms, nor Alpha/Linux.
