Hi there! I know this is quite the old thread, but as of today I'm having the same problem.

I'm on calibre 0.9.14, running Mac OS X 10.8.2, and as of this morning when I start the calibre server, my Local Hostname is renamed to xxxxx-2.local. Renaming it back to xxxxx.local doesn't stick as long as calibre server's running. If I quit calibre server, I can rename it back to xxxxx.local manually and the name will stick. The moment I relaunch calibre server, we're back to xxxxx-2.local.

Having the server is just a luxury and not a huge deal to me, but I wanted to make you aware that it still appears to be a problem. I need to shut it off to have other critical resources run properly, but of course, I'll take any advice on getting the server running without it hijacking my hostname.

Otherwise, thanks for the AWESOME app. I love it.
