bug#4418: 23.1; Long timeout on starting emacs-23.1 |

Emacs takes infinity and a week to start if there is no Internet
connection. Emacs starts normally whenever there is an Internet
connection.
Originally, I used the Arch Linux x86_64 cvs package. About two weeks
ago, I suddenly started to get this timeout effect. I then upgraded to
the stable version; same effect. I then compiled it myself; same
effect.
This looks rather like it might be a feature; presumably emacs has a
reason to try to do something via the Internet. If so, then it's a
feature that one must be able to turn off.
I live in one city at the weekends where I have an Internet connection,
but I work in another during the week where I don't. It is quite
untenable having to wait so long everytime emacs is started where there
is no Internet connection.
I also find it rather disconcerting when a program like emacs starts
making Internet connections without being asked to explicitly and
without my being able to discover why.
I tried look at the NEWS and BUS documentation, but could find nothing
to explain this behaviour.
