Paul, you seem to be on the right track here. More observations that
might be useful:

Both, Pierre and Eric are running Mandrake. Although I have never seen
such long hangs (yes, running Mandrake too) on different machines, there
seems to be an issue with a missing localhost entry under special
circumstances on Mandrake at least.

This is a glibc bug. I don't think this is related.

The issue with the hangs get more and more clear. I remember seeing
something similar on Mandrake mailing lists.
