I also had the same problem some weeks ago. I noticed that a UDP socket for name service is created during the hang, so I set up a local DNS and traced what SO looked up, and oh boy, SO was looking up tens of domain names which include some German domain names ending with ".de" -- I don't know why, though. :-) > > Any linux emulation people who can tell what to do ? Unfortunately, it seems that there's nothing much we can do about this since we cannot stop SO from doing DNS queries. However, there's a *silly* workaround. Temporarily bring down the network interfaces through which nameservers are reached during SO is launching. This will make all DNS lookups fail immediately. ;-) > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member > phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop." > -- Gene Minsung Kim http://seera.nttlabs.com/~gene/ Software Developer mailto:gene@nttlabs.com NTT America, Inc., Multimedia Communications Laboratories
