Re: xemacs 21.2b45 fails when not on network ( not the obvious )
This helps a good bit ( I was pointed to problems off list as well )
and the 127.0.0.1:0 works fine but why does it try to do localhost
look ups with a :0.0 $DISPLAY? The forcing ipv4 behavior of
127.0.0.1:0 works but changes one from using a AF_UNIX socket to using
a AF_INET socket when using xterm. It's very strange to break the
most commmon case.
Thanks for the pointer though,
Chris

This is probably the getaddrinfo/IPv6 breakage. Info from PROBLEMS
reproduced below; does that help? (I wrote this, but I'm quoting the
"trust us" part; I do not understand why a local XEmacs should be
making blocking OS calls that are likely to fail for mobile hosts.)
