Subject:   Slow network connection in -current

--=-=-=

I've noticed a certain slowness in doing network connections with
-current.  Can't explain this.  While /usr/src/UPDATING does speak of
slowness that I need to expect, this smells of another problem.

I type "host mail.gmx.net" and it immediately comes back with an
answer.

I type "telnet mail.gmx.net pop3" and it takes many seconds before a
connection is established.  Once the connection is established,
I see the greeting from the remote server quickly enough.  I can't
explain why it takes such a long time to establish the connection.

I tried to investigate using "truss -f telnet mail.gmx.net pop3", but
that produces an error message:

kai@slowfox$ truss -f -d -o truss.out telnet mail.gmx.net pop3 
truss: get_struct 0x0: Bad address
kai@slowfox$ 

As you can see, I get a new prompt.  However, after some seconds
(sufficient for me to write this paragraph), I get more output which
shows the greeting from the remote server.  Hm.  Indeed, a telnet
process is running, says ps.  Hmmm...  Ah!  Here is the additional
output:

kai@slowfox$ truss -f -d -o truss.out telnet mail.gmx.net pop3 
truss: get_struct 0x0: Bad address
kai@slowfox$ psg telnet
kai       977  0.0  0.4  3500 2208  p0  S    10:00PM   0:00.04 telnet mail.gmx.net pop3
kai@slowfox$ Trying 213.165.64.20...
Connected to mail.gmx.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
psg telnet+OK GMX POP3 StreamProxy ready <25890.1064779259@mp002>

Looks weird, doesn't it?  The "psg telnet" in the last line comes
from me hitting Ctrl-P in bash at just the time the output arrived.

In case you're interested in truss.out, I'm appending it to this
message.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

tia,
Kai
