If each client specification is used only with a single client workspace on
the shared drive, it doesn't matter that different hosts are used.

This sort of problem also shows up when there's a multi-way mapping in
the client view.  The client view must preserve a strict 1:1 mapping of
files in the depot to files in the user's workspace.
