 Um, HostNameLookups affects printing of IP-dotted-quad vs hostname in
 *access* logfiles; my enhancement-request and bugfix concern the *error*
 file. (Sorry if the synopsis was misleading; the main text talks more
 clearly about it being the error file).
 
 So to give a clearer synopsis: the enhancement request and suggested
 implementation is to fix the *error* file so that hostnames rather than IP
 addresses are printed, under the control of HostNameLookups. A purist might
 prefer to have separate control over IP->hostname mapping for the access
 logfiles versus the error log, but that would need more coding than the
 one-liner I've tested and submitted.
 
 Cheers, Stefek
