output of ssh-keygen -l on known_hosts file with comments

I am encountering a small bug when using ssh-keygen -l with
known_hosts files.  For lines that have comments, the hostname is not
diplayed in the ssh-keygen -l output.  Please see the attachment for a
demonstration of the effect.

As you can see in the last command in the attachment, the hostname is
not present in the display, although the comment is.

The monkeysphere [0] program uses the comment field in known_hosts
files,
so this may present a problem for users of that program.

Thanks for the help.
