Public bug reported:

I found this weird bug at work the other day.

My work machine is called 'ellis'. I ran a webserver on port 80. I would
expect the command 'GET ellis' to retrieve html from http://ellis/ .

Instead it retrieves http://www.waellis.co.uk/ !!

'ellis.co.uk' actually redirects to 'www.waellis.co.uk', but that
doesn't explain where the '.co.uk' bit came from.

'wget ellis' works as expected, as does entering 'ellis' into the
address bar of Firefox.
