           Summary: GRAM4 execution with incorrect local host address
                    detection fails with hang rather than error.
           Product: Swift
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: hategan at mcs.anl.gov
        ReportedBy: benc at hawaga.org.uk


When a GRAM4 job submission is made requesting that status notifications go to
the wrong place (eg wrong IP address), this fails as a hang rather than with an
error.

This manifests in common OS configuration of hostname mapping to 127.0.0.1 in
/etc/hosts

A solution is to remove 127.0.0.1

The gram commandline client does not suffer in this situation.

If GLOBUS_HOSTNAME is set to a hostname, name->ip resolution of this appears to
happen on the local system rather than the value being used to refer to self
directly. This seems to be not in line with the use of GLOBUS_HOSTNAME that I
am used to (as in, give up trying to figure out how others can refer to you - I
am telling you in this variable).
