That's just it. Happens here, but clearly not for anyone else. IIRC I would 
browse to a place like "www.kakaku.com" - it would go do the resolv thing, and 
just never come back, as confirmed by ktrace. I can recompile Mozilla, and run 
ktrace/tcpdump again if you are curious. There's always the chance it "just 
works" now, like it tends to when you try to demonstrate a problem to someone else.
