The script shouldn't stop there because of that.  Check the version
you're using; revision 1.12 doesn't exit after producing that
message on line 342.  In fact, the only check remaining after that is
that the hostname has an address.  If so, it prints what it found out
and starts isql.  

Perhaps something in your environment causes the shell to
terminate the script when host(1) returns nonzero status?  I'd be
interested it hear what you find out.
