[Mediawiki-l] Bug in 1.6.3?

[Arthur Guy]

It could be something that was left over from when they were developing
it, although it seems strange that you are the only person to report a
problem.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Bug in 1.6.3?

I just installed MediaWiki 1.6.3. It all seems to have gone okay, with 
the exception of an error message at the top of the browser window:

  Warning:  socket_sendto() Host lookup failed [-10001]: Unknown host in
  wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1504

I checked out the offending line, and it appears to be trying to open a
socket to a machine called "webster" to do some kinds of statistics
logging.
I commented the line out and everything seems to work just fine.

What's going on here? 

Malcolm
