It happened to us when we changed this in comm.c:
       from = gethostbyaddr( (char *) &sock.sin_addr,
           sizeof(sock.sin_addr), AF_INET );
       dnew->host = str_dup( from ? from->h_name : buf );
to this:
       dnew->host = str_dup(buf);

We had to do that because gethostbyaddr blocks while resolving hostnames, and some ISPs are either slow or broken, which locks the game up.
I think a lot of people have had that problem.

Hi gang,

Does anyone remember what I did to make the sockets command show
IP addresses rather than host names? :)
