Ok, using my previous ktrace, and gdb dump, it is apparent that it just stops in 
getaddrinfo(), called from ./nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prnetdb.c

This appears to be a problem if it hits a "DNS blackhole" and simply never comes 
back. I edited ./nsprpub/pr/include/md/_netbsd.h to not have 
_PR_HAVE_GETADDRINFO and rebuilt, and it should defer back to gethostby* - which 
are also thread away in pth.h (getaddrinfo is not, additionally, man getaddr 
specifically says it is not thread safe).

Presumably this all is not a problem for anyone else perhaps because you do not 
get "DNS blackholes" very often. We appear to get them somewhat regularly in Japan.
