hex 520 = decimal 1312 

or lassie.lkg.dec.com (16.20.208.100): 

decimal 100 = hex 64, put "5" in front of it,
hex 564 = deximal 1380
decimal 208 = hex D0, put "5" in front of it,

%UCX-E-HOSTERROR, Error processing HOST request

UCX version: tested with V3.3 ECO9, and V4.1 ECO3

it's not a customer's problem.

a colleague has mistyped an address and UCX said "it's alive!",
an d we couldn't believe it.

UCX should say Bad IP Address, likr Dunix or WNT.
