purple hosts - SOLVED.

[Cade Robinson]

I think I finally have the fix to purple hosts when the host starts with
number!

The REAL culprit is lib/timefunc.c in durationvalue function.

                char *p;
                char modifier;
                int oneval = 0;


Can anyone tell me why the parse code starting with that "while" would
need to execute more than once?

a message that is:
validity hostname.test color blah blah

So it should only have to parse the string once - correct?
