Hi,
I have received this bug report, and I don't know quite what to make of
it. Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks,

It seems that rxvt does a lookup for the hostname while starting and
somehow this times out several times according to an strace:
read(3, 0xbffff88c, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\204Z\0\16\0\0\0008\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\1\0"..., 32) = 32
readv(3, [{"-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-"..., 56}, {"", 0}], 2) = 56
writev(3, [{"1\0\3\0\1\0\4\0", 8}, {"7x14", 4}], 2) = 12
read(3, 0xbffff85c, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\366[\0\2\0\0\0\1\0\366\0108W\244\10\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\000"..., 32) = 32
readv(3, [{"\0047x14-fi", 8}, {"", 0}], 2) = 8
writev(3, [{"2\0\3\0d\0\4\0", 8}, {"7x14", 4}], 2) = 12
This messages come several times. I think it must have to do that I
have in /proc/sys/kernel/hostname only the hostname and in
/proc/sys/kernel/domainname the domainpart. It seems that many
applications are confused by this (to my understanding correct) setup.
Most the times I see setups with the full hostname (with domainpart)
in the hostname file....
Anyway, rxvt seems to do a search for the hostname, and doesn't seem
to find it, just after several times, which takes about 1 minute :-/
This seem to be a new problem, I'm using mostly rxvt for resource
savings :-) I can't tell which of the last three releases of the
package updates introduced this bug for I was on vacations....
HTH!
