sudo: unable to lookup [MYHOSTNAME] via gethostbyname()

Hi,

Anyone know what this error message means?

	sudo: unable to lookup viewmaster via gethostbyname()

"viewmaster" is the hostname I chose for my laptop. Sudo seems to work 
normally, but the message appears whenever I use it.

I'm using testing.

Thanks,

John
