It seems that if you specify a hostname at the end it works fine...  Otherwise
it segfaults and dumps core.  I also notice that someone it dumps core before
gettings the list from the local machines - Sometimes it'll produce all the
logins and dump, or just the local machine and dump, all at random.

Just fuel for the fire.
