Maybe the problem is the other way round: the test suite isn't finding
the FQDN of the local host. If that is the case, the output munging is
just changing the basic name into "the.local.host.name", leaving the
outer domain untouched. What is the output of this Perl script?

chomp($temp = `hostname`);                   
$parm_hostname = (gethostbyname($temp))[0];
$parm_hostname = "<no hostname found>" if $parm_hostname eq "";           
print "Hostname is $parm_hostname\n";                                           


That's the code that the test suite uses. In fact, you can see the
output when you run the test suite, so the question is, are you seeing a
FQDN at that point, or not?
