We are running FreeBSD 2.2-961014-SNAP and running Matlab for Linux
using Linux emulation.  When Matlab is started on the FreeBSD machine
using a display other than its console, we get the following error:

TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't get address for fennel.ee.cornell.edu

This error is a result of matlab trying to obtain the address of the
local machine to display the Matlab Graphics window.  Any ideas as to
why this error occurs will be greatly appreciated.
