It's not. It means, that waitpid() is called, which blocks the program until a child process terminates. If you want to see, what's going on within the child processes, use 'strace -f' instead of 'strace' to (f)ollow child processes spawned by the straced process. A guess of mine: Maybe one of your DB-Servers or one of your DNS-Servers is down? This is a problem, I have in one of my cells although I have to wait ~ 30s instead of 10min.
