Remote debugging option not interpreted by DDD 3.3.1

[Wolfgang Schoch]

DDD Version: GNU DDD 3.3.1 (i386-suse-linux)

Hello,

while trying to use DDD with a GDB debugger running on a remote machine, the 
remote debugging option --host and --rhost with the hostname of the remote 
machine is not correctly interpreted by DDD.

ddd --host hostname remote_program
ddd --rhost hostname remote_program

After starting DDD a message window "GDB could not be started" is displayed 
and the following error message occurs in the GDB console window:

sh: exec: hostname: not found

It seems that the option name --rhost is recognized by DDD but the given 
hostname is passed to GDB as a filename for execution.
With DDD Version 3.2.1 everything is running fine, but Version 3.3.1 doesn't 
work well in that case.

I attached the trace of DDD startup. Maybe this will help you more.
If there is already a bugfix available, i would be very thankful, when you can 
give me a short message reply. 

Thanks in advance and happy Bug-Hunting ;-)
