Hm.

const char *hostPeerName (Host host)
{
  ASSERT (host != NULL) ;
    
  return host->params->peerName ;
}

and peerName is set to:

  peerName = hostPeerName (cxn->myHost) ;

but host->params is a struct that looks like:

typedef struct host_param_s
{
  char *peerName;
  char *ipName;
  /* ... */
}

so I don't see how one gets an offset of 2 out of that.

Nonetheless, I think there's something wrong with the host struct there.
I did do a huge change to a lot of the reporting functions a bit back, and
that may have broken something, but I mostly just changed calls to syslog
to calls to notice/warn/die and moved the messages from msgs.h into the
code itself.
