I tried running strace oowriter......here's the end of the output where it is hanging up.
time(NULL) = 1102119632
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 27
fcntl64(27, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
setsockopt(27, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
setsockopt(27, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
connect(27, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), sin_addr=inet_addr("64.15.205.241")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
close(27) = 0
which then repeats with ther addresses 64.15.205.155, 64.15.205.180, 64.15.205.202, and several others. The delay in starting is caused by the timeout on all the connections. Can anybody explain what on earth is happening?
see if those addresses (or the equivalent host names) are in the file ~/.recently-used
