Blank Host Error

According to the FAQ (http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc4) to access sabnzbd from another computer you must delete the Host field under Config -> General.  When I do this sabnzbd fails to start.  I discovered that entering 0.0.0.0 for the host accomplishes what I want.  This is probably what sabnzbd is supposed to do behind the scenes.

Version: SABnzbd+ 0.5.0Beta6
OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Install-type: Repo
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

Ubuntu sucks in this area.
An empty host name tells SABnzbd to use the actual hostname of the system.
Only the designers of Ubuntu thought it was a good idea to resolve the hostname as 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost).
So you're stuck with using 0.0.0.0
