Larry,

The confusing part, unless you know what's going on behind the scenes in QShell, is that the functions being requested were all local, with no connection to the network.

So all the trouble is because every time a shell starts, qshell runs gethostbyname() in order to load the environment variables "HOSTID" and "HOSTNAME".

And if the DNS is not configured correctly, the call to gethostbyname() becomes very slow.

And since some commands trigger a lot of new shells, the entire process crawls to a halt.
