In response to Robie, As far as i'm aware, a recursive server will pick a random root name server to fetch the list of root name servers from. If this happens to be the D root server old ip is offline, it'll stall briefly while trying to connect to it. Granted it's only a once off and a 1/13 chance of happening. Considering it's such an easy patch, no reason not to apply it though.
