Unresolvable host breaks clusterssh

[Sheldon Hearn]

Binary package hint: clusterssh

When an unresolvable hostname is given in a list of hostnames, clusterssh aborts, leaving behind terminal windows for the hosts opened before the hostname was found to be unresolvable. Those terminal windows are unusable and must be closed individually.

The ChangeLog for upstream version 3.27 claims that this bug is fixed in that version:

* Fix bug where unresolvable host stopped program running
  - thanks to Sami Kerola

This is a regression since Jaunty, so it's probably worth fixing.
