It isn't.

I don't know what you did, but hostnames are always matched without
caring about upper/lowercase. (Just to be sure, I double-checked this on
a 4.2 install using both normal status- and client-messages).

Hobbit *does* care about the full hostname, though. It is common for
ghosts to appear because the bb-hosts entry uses a hostname with the
domain included, and the clients send hostnames with no domain.

Hmmm....interesting...I installed this on RHEL4 x64 using a package built from the spec file...I figured the lack of domain was what caused this...however,  I didn't get all the tests to show (or the ghost to disappear) until I made the case match...unfortunately I don't have another server I can verify with...yet.
