That could have been the case - but I had to reboot to recover the system=
=2E

I had let it sit idle fpr a few hours and the last "time uptime" before
the reboot took 15 second real time to complete.

Response from within the shell (e.g. "echo *") was instantaneous, though.=


I tried to trace the program execution of "uptime" with truss and found,
that the loading of shared libraries proceeded at about one or two per
second until all were attached and then the program quickly printed the
expected results.

I could probably recreate the issue by running the same set of programs
that triggered it a few hours ago, but this is a production system and
I need it to be operational through the week ...
