APPROVE COMMIT 21.5
RECOMMEND 21.4. I haven't checked whether it applies, though.
Note that this patch applies the ChangeLog out of order. Sorry about
that, I didn't realize until after I'd committed, and Mercurial does
not make it easy to rewrite this kind of history.

+Add that line, and XEmacs will be happy. If your network is unreliable,
+such as a Wifi network, you may experience delays but eventually XEmacs
+starts up. This may be due to having the lookup order give precedence
+to DNS over the hosts file (often lookup order is defined in one of the
+files @file{/etc/host.conf}, @file{/etc/nsswitch.conf}, or
+(a)file{/etc/resolv.conf}, depending on OS). See your system
+documentation for this configuration. Note that changing the lookup
+order is a workaround; there are good reasons to have DNS come earlier
+by default. Make sure those reasons are less important to you than a
+quick XEmacs startup.
