I think I found a bug in Squeak's networking and I was wondering if 
somebody could help me out. It may be causing the Swikis to have problems.

The bug appears to be in NetNameResolver. NetNameResolver uses a 
semaphore to keep it from resolving more than one address at a time. This 
seems OK, except that sometimes that semaphore gets locked down. My guess 
is that there was an error (i.e. primitive failed, etc.) and that caused 
the semaphore to remain locked. Unfortunately, I can't replicate this 
happening as it happens so rarely. So, I'm unable to track it down.

Could someone who knows the code see if there is a way to avoid this from 
happening. For instance, could we put an ifError: thing in there?

BTW, so far, I've only observed this bug happening on solaris and 
linux. Is there a chance of a VM bug?

Peace and Luck!
