AFAIK, it's the call to getaddrinfo() in canonicalize_host_name(),
which is called by x_canonicalize_device_connection() and
x_canonicalize_console_connection().
Now I have run into this I have to question why we are even trying to
do
net related functions at startup. Its only an editor for goodness sake.
You can't use X without using "net related functions".
ltrace indicates that running xemacs on a tty doesn't involve
getaddrinfo().
