[Glass] SmalltalkCI gemstone on mac os sierra

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

If `sudo hostname` doesn't work and Google doesn't pay off:

   Please reattempt the startstone using
     export GEMSTONE_SOCKET_DEBUG=2
     startstone ...
   And send us the complete stone log , then we can give more detailed 
advice
