Yes, I'm aware of that possibility, I just don't think this is a big deal.
The hostname could be changed right after sending discover/request and
it will take a long while before the new one is send.

I agree, but I was trying to avoid changes not strictly related to
sandboxing. It was very hard to resist, belive me. For example I started
removing 'ifi' global variable, which I really don't like, but decided
to leave it for now (later I only changed variable name in disassoc()
that shadowed this global variable).

Fixed.

Thanks for the review!
