Network blocks with recent betas

Has someone been messing with the networking code? I tried starting up XEmacs on my laptop, and it just hung until I started PPP when Wham! there it was in my face. The "change DISPLAY" trick may also have worked. I haven't figured out how to investigate this properly (my net config on that box is an unholy mess, it needs to cope with three different fixed IP addresses depending on where it gets plugged in, and with dynamically assigned PPP). XEmacs CVS updated to 2/26 21:00 JST, updated again 2/28 22:00 JST. Debian GNU/Linux "woody". Could these be related? kkm> strace also helped, it was stuck on DNS resolution, kkm> repeatedly bombing DNS servers with a query.
