I don't think that's been mentioned before.
Under the 5.x port, DNS resolution would occasionally stall for thirty seconds or more with the message "Resolving host..." in the status bar. This wasn't unique to the OpenBSD build; users on multiple operating systems reported similar behavior. Some *nix users reported that removing the "search" line from /etc/hosts resolved the problem. Others reported disabling "Pre-fetching" in their preferences eliminated the delays. My own tests produced inconclusive results on several different machines (all OpenBSD/i386). After making a change to /etc/hosts or preferences, the problem would disappear for a while, only to return unexpectedly. On some systems I never experienced the delays at all. The new package exhibits similar behavior. The status bar message now appears as "Searching..." It's a maddeningly inconsistent failure; sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. On the plus side, 9.0.597 seems much more stable. References: http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-chromium-port-update-p28726821.html http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12754 -sl
