I have confirmed that "NetNameResolver localHostName" hangs in the old squeaksource.com
image, and works as expected in any newer image. The local host address on dan.box.squeak.org
#(104 130 170 38) IPV4, and the local host name is '104.130.170.38'.

I expect that the VNC problem will go away whenever the squeaksource.com image is updated
to any version newer than circa 2011.
