Using PTRACE would have given comments, but your conclusion confirms
what I was thinking.

When doing a call over SIP, you have two ways to determine the IP
address of the remote peer :
- normal A Record Lookup
- SRV Record Lookup

The portion of code you have commented is doing a SRV Record.
There is a limitation in Ekiga 2.xx: SRV lookups are done when it is not
needed. This is what happens here.

However, it is not normal to spend so much time on that lookup. It
indicates a problem on your DNS server.

Can you double-check /etc/resolv.conf on the machine on which you have a
delay and on the machine that works correctly ?
