I tried setting it to local, non-nil and nil in turn with the following results: (i) with netlogon service - delayed Emacs startup as reported in the bug for each of the values (ii) without netlogon service - Emacs starts instantly in all cases I use the binary build which probably isn't meant for debugging. Also my experience in using gdb is limited, but if provided with a debug build and instructions on what to do, I can at least attempt.
