I actually don't recall anything like this since 2000. Can you
provide URLs for the earlier discussions you found?

This is the only thing I can think of that seems related, but it
should not have anything to do with gnuserv. It's something that
needs to be done by the main application (ie, the xemacs binary) to
conform to the IPv6 standard, but causes lots of problems in
practice. That has been solved for 5 years, though.
There are two possible changes that might with your problem. First,
it sounds to me like it's likely to be some kind of security
configuration problem. Please check the gnuserv man page to see if
you can configure the GNU-SECURE protocol for your local host. That
might help, without having to rebuild gnuserv.
One other thing to check/try...do you have an entry for your system in
your hosts file? If not, it may be trying a DNS lookup and failing.
Note: I have not tried this (I already have an entry in my hosts file
for my system.)
You might try something like:
127.0.0.1 myhostname localhost localhosts.my.domain
I'm a FreeBSD user and don't use Linux, so I don't know for sure how it
handles this, but it might have changes between versions.
