mof: I found the following issue on tcl 8.5:
One if my windows machines is named "Mof13.somedomain" info hostname returns "mof13.somedomain" (everything lowercase)
As some applications I use with tcl are case sensitive to the hostname and I didn't that this machine had a capital "M", I searched for a bug in my tcl script for 4 hours...
Windows' hostname on cmd.exe returns the correct "MoF13.somedomain", I expect info hostname to do the same. Therfore I think info hostname is not reliable.
A workaround for this ambiguity is to use exec hostname on windows, but i guess it's not platform independent...
