I'm totally in the dark here. Please enlighten me. I have no idea
how the conclusions were reached from the provided data.

I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, nor how you are determining
that it's trying to find your hostname. I presume fd 3 is the X connection
though if it's only selecting on 4 fd's (0-3) then where's your pty
connection? Ah, yes, it's fd 0?
Anyway, just looks like normal traffic over the X connection to me.
Where's the call to look up your hostname?
: 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....

rxvt won't call uname() (directly) unless you're on QNX. And I
can't think of anywhere where it'll try to call it indirectly.
:> somehow this times out several times according to an strace
:rxvt tries to read my PWD in some strange way, have a look:
: read(5, "myhost:~/mypwd # ", 8192) = 16
: read(5, 0x80698d4, 8176) = -1 EAGAIN
:(myhost, mypwd substituted for clearness)
This looks like normal traffic from a shell over your pty connection
(to rxvt). I'm not sure why you're interpreting it as strange.
