Looks good.  The only thing I'd add is that you are depending on
__NEW_UTS_LEN+1 being something very specific, so if utsname.h
gets a change, checkpoint/ckpt_task.c needs a corresponding
change.  So it would be robust to future code changes if you

#define MAX_UTS_LEN (__NEW_UTS_LEN+1)

in utsname.h, so that anyone expanding the size of hostname
doesn't need to look for this usage.

Still,
