Hi!

In Emacs 25.3.1 I had the problem that Emacs refuses to save a modified =
buffer after plugging in the network cable: The hostname changed through =
DHCP, and now Emacs says the file is locked by another user with some PID. =
However that PID is the only Emacs PID on the system, and it's Emacs' own =
PID!
I suspect that Emacs gets the hostname once during startup, and never =
checks it again. (I could not find a match using "C-h a hostname")

Regards,
Ulrich Windl

If it worked like that, you wouldn't have a problem.
But since https://debbugs.gnu.org/19438, system-name does change dynamically.
