Suppose you build with libraries in /net/polgar/lib/
Your xemacs is built with a runpath containing /net/polgar/lib.
You install xemacs.
You leave the company.
One year later, the machine "polgar" is shut down.
Everytime someone starts xemacs, it now takes 5 minutes to start up
because of the hang accessing the NFS directory /net/polgar/lib.
Even though no library in /net/polgar/lib is being used.
No one can figure out why.
