I just experienced a timeout that might be related to this bug. A simple "wine notepad" would hang for several minutes until the editor finally comes up. Running it under strace shows that the timeout happens here:
,---- | connect(13, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.42.1")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) `---- 192.168.42.1 is an address for localhost, but the interface it is bound to is down, since I'm only using the eth0 device when I connect PC and laptop, I don't bring it up automatically. After "sudo ifup eth0" the timeout disappears, even if the interface is then brought down again: ,---- | % /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0b:6a:22:9f:b6 | BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 | RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) | Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd400 | | % sudo ifup eth0 | % sudo ifdown eth0 | % /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0b:6a:22:9f:b6 | inet addr:192.168.42.1 Bcast:192.168.42.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 | RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 | TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 | collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 | RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) | Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd400 | `---- Note the extra line starting with "inet addr" in the second ifconfig output.
