Description
I have been running into this issue when running `gh-ost` inside of some of our docker containers. When the hostname of the docker container is at least 61 characters in length, I get the following error when trying to run `gh-ost`.
```
$ cat /tmp/ghost_user.cnf
[client]
user = ghost
$ /usr/bin/gh-ost --database yelp_pushplan_execution --table pushplan_run --alter ENGINE=InnoDB --conf /tmp/ghost_user.cnf --host xx.xx.xx.xx --chunk-size 500 --force-table-names 1557255792_pushplan_run --assume-rbr

```
The docker container is running on Ubuntu Bionic.
When I specified `--hostname` when creating the same docker container to be 61 characters instead, `gh-ost` ran without any issues.
The error message comes from https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/124c7ab1d6f914637521fd4463a993aa73403513/sql/rpl_master.cc#L161 and it looks like hostname is chosen from https://github.com/siddontang/go-mysql/blob/master/replication/binlogsyncer.go#L495
Let me know if you need any other information to reproduce this.
