Darn I forgot about this.

There was indeed a change I noticed but forgot to open a discussion about 
it. It looks like the order of the xml-files changed during some RC. I 
remember having the catchall in hosts.xml and several normal definitions 
in the hosts/ subdirectory. In one RC, WPKG started to load hosts.xml 
first and the definitions in the hosts/ subdirectory after that.

So the catchall-definition was loaded first, matched and no other hosts 
(from hosts/) matched (because applyMultiple was off).

I worked around this by emptying the hosts.xml and putting the catchall 
into an extra file "zzz_catchall.xml", which I hope is guaranteed to load 
as the last definition.

So at the moment it's this way: If you have a catchall in "hosts.xml" and 
applyMultiple=off then your definitions in hosts/*.xml won't match, 
because the catchall matches first.

Hope I could help
