How many IP addresses has this client used to speak with the server(s) in question? Are the tcpdumps taken from the server side? If so, are there any WhoAreYou queries being sent between the start of the delay and the finish? If so, 1.3.87 does not contain the fix for the UUID to IP address mapping problems in which an IP address gets reused by a second or third client and the file server merges all three clients into one. This was fixed in 1.4.0-rc1. Jeffrey Altman
