>Description:
	The getty(8) prints initial message like below:

		NetBSD/i386 (mincore.spa.is.uec.ac.jp.privat) (ttyv0)

	If the length of the hostname >= 32, hostname field is truncated
	at 31 bytes.

	"mincore.spa.is.uec.ac.jp" is 24bytes, but
	"mincore.spa.is.uec.ac.jp.private" is 32bytes :-(

	The hostname is apt to be longer recently.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	Apply following patch:
