The problem was indeed that get_flag(hostname,H) left
uninitialized junk on the stack which caused the gc
to fall over.

Until you get an Eclipse that has this problem fixed,
you can use this hack:

hostname(H) :-
        findall(X, get_flag(hostname,X), [H]).

or, to be absolutely sure:

hostname(H) :-
	get_flag(gc, GC),
	set_flag(gc, off),
        findall(X, get_flag(hostname,X), [H]),
	set_flag(gc, GC).
