No, it's a bug. Finally rose to the top of my list. Fixed in the next
release - it should show the IP address. At least, I have fixed one
circumstance that could do that; let's hope it's the same as the one you
hit. It occurred if there was an error very early on in the connection,
typically as a result of host_lookup, and looking up the IP address gave
a host name that could not be looked up.
