On line 90 of localhost.c:
struct hostent *hp = gethostbyname(buf);
The above call (may) persist for an unreasonably long time before failing.
I realize that a solution would be to insert "127.0.0.1 <domain that I
use>" into the /etc/hosts file, but, it may be worth it to consider
setting up surrounding debug information, and perhaps a timeout of some
sort. Specifically, the telnet command, would hang for nearly 30 seconds
before continuing on. The '-d' (debug) flag did not indicate what was
going on. Investigating the code, I discovered the above function call to
be the issue.
