It boiled down to something, someplace, not liking a hostname starting

But I changed its hostname to dddprint, based on the previous 3dprint,
and it now works as requested. So my problem is solved.
Is that just a head scratcher, or is there a valid reason to not allow a
hostname such as 6040 or 3dprint? Something starting with a numeral IOW.
Is that a bug? Or is there a specific reason for the silent failure?
In which case, it really ought to be a little mouthier about the failure.
