Comment(by edmanm):

 If a stream event includes only an IP address, Vidalia will use the
 `address-mappings` command to try to find the previous host name for that
 IP address. If two hostnames map to the same IP address, Vidalia has no
 way of knowing which one is correct given only the IP address. One
 alternative is to simply display the IP address for such cases, but then
 user would probably complaint that they're seeing an IP address rather
 than a (possibly incorrect) hostname.
