Hostname padded in HOSTS file…

[cyber7]

Hi guys.
My host:
bsfirewall100.biblesociety.co.za bsfirewall

is being padded to:
bsfirewall100.biblesociety.co.za b

The characters are chopped off.  It seems there is a max size the hostname (fqdn+host) can be.

I tested it by taking some of the characters off and then the host gets updated with more characters.

Kind regards
