i found this bug over Christmas (on Windows2K, 3.1alpha 3880):

[Socket initializeNetwork] fork.
Socket initializeNetwork.

if you execute

NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.yahoo.com' timeout: 45

after executing the first snippet, the NetNameResolver takes the full 45
seconds to (correctly) return the resolved address, instead of returning as
soon as it is finished.

stoping and restarting Squeak (and doing Socket initializeNetwork without
forking) eliminated the problem.
