Hmm, wasn't aware of this option.
However, it seems a bit too artificial to me and requires extra work
to refrain Condor from overloading the single slot with double jobs!
And all that, simply to resolve the hostname of a single core system....

I really hope that in a next release Condor could be fixed by either using
slot1@hostname for single slot machines, or use the hostname 'as is'
when gethostbyname() fails (instead of bailing out, as it does now).
