That's due to a botched merge of etc/PROBLEMS in March 2015. Thanks for
mentioning it. I installed the attached patch into master to fix it.

Yes, the problem that I fixed in 2014 should not be present in Emacs
25.1. Of course there could be some other problem with similar symptoms.
I can't reproduce the symptoms, though. I tried running Emacs master on
Fedora 27 with networking disabled (using Gnome's "Wired Connected >
Turn Off" UI), and Emacs started up fine.
