No change.

Yes! Even _with_ HostnameLookups! We have run our auxiliary server
(cheetah.uio.no) with 1.3b3 for three weeks now. During that time
several tests have been carried out by the distant user who alerted
me of the of the problem, and who kindly has assisted in trying to
debug what seems only to appear at the other end of "long lines".
We have waited this long in replying to be as certain as possible
of the conclusion that the problem is gone.
We will now see what happens when I take our main server (lynx.uio.no)
from 1.1.1 (which I had to downgrade it to due to this problem) to
1.3b3....
To me it would seem that HostnameLookups itself was not a correct
theory, but that something else of importance has been changed
(maybe inadvertently in this context?) from 1.2.* to 1.3b3.
Cheers,
