Temporary network problems. I just ran uscan for this watch file on quantz,
and it currently still produces "bad hostname". Also, running "host
apgdiff.startnet.biz" produces "Host apgdiff.startnet.biz not found:
3(NXDOMAIN)". Same on my laptop (different internet connection). For some
reason the host can be reached from where you are. No idea why this happens.
