Sigh, this requires me to modify a whole bunch of hostd in my DECnet database.
I think the 1.0 originates from VMS 4.7 or even before, long before I was
responsible for the whole thing. For the time being I restored the DECnet
database from backup and things are fine again with the cluster alias on
address 1.0. But I will change it when I am back to work.
