$ cd ~/src/emacs/src
$ ./emacs -q
Unplug Ethernet cable, `./emacs -Q' nothing happen just freeze. Plug Ethernet
cable, emacs startup normally.
Unplug Ethernet && /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (gentoo), `./emacs -Q' startup normally.
Does emacs attempt to connect network when startup?
version: GNU Emacs 23.0.90.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) of 2009-02-22

Emacs tries to determine the hostname of the machine on which it runs.
So if your DNS setup specifies a server that's not reachable, you'll get
such timeouts,

I wonder if there is anything Emacs can do to avoid hanging
in such cases. Perhaps to make it time out.

IIUC it does timeout after a minute or two.

Can we make it display a message after 10 seconds?
