+#        DBs were created with more than 17 bytes in the name).  The
+#        hostID points at an entry in the host table (text file).
+#        There is no safety on this, but it is recoverable (by
+#        examining the directories) if misplaced.

+#        Note that SkyTables from databases generated in the past may
+#        have garbage characters here.  To ensure catch this
+#        condition, we add a header keyword to SkyTables in which the
+#        hostID has been set; if that is not present, the SkyTable
+#        loading software should init these bytes to 0 (== unassigned).
