Got this today:

It's far from the first time=E2=80=94been doing it one to three times a wee=
k since March.
And =E2=80=A6/unison/2.53.7 was installed before that and not modified sinc=
e.
Nor have I deleted anything in ~/.unison

The message goes on to suggest a DHCP issue, but DHCP cannot change my loca=
l hostname, and both roots are local.  I downloaded the PDF manual, but the=
 discussion of UNISONLOCALHOSTNAME is not helpful.  Am I supposed to set it=
 to the output of `hostname`?

I did take the laptop out of the house today and connect it to the WiFi at =
the hospital, but that can't change the hostname and I did not run unison w=
hile there.  Even if the hospital could have changed my defined hostname (i=
t CAN'T), the above messages happened after I returned home and got back on=
 my own LAN.

Those diagnostics happened this evening, and the previous unison sync was f=
our days ago.
