I just experienced a timeout that might be related to this bug. A simple
"wine notepad" would hang for several minutes until the editor finally
comes up.  Running it under strace shows that the timeout happens here:

,----
| connect(13, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.42.1")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
`----

192.168.42.1 is an address for localhost, but the interface it is bound
to is down, since I'm only using the eth0 device when I connect PC and
laptop, I don't bring it up automatically.  After "sudo ifup eth0" the
timeout disappears, even if the interface is then brought down again:

,----
| % /sbin/ifconfig eth0
| eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0b:6a:22:9f:b6

Note the extra line starting with "inet addr" in the second ifconfig
output.
