The getaddrinfo.test program hangs for a while and then gives:
getaddrinfo returned 8: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
/tmp/launch-1CQvwq/
The dig tests return immediately for the first name server and then take
a while and eventually return connection timed out errors for the second
and third name servers.
I tried turning off all networking and xemacs does then start
immediately. I should have thought to try this when you first mentioned
the DNS issue! So I think you've nailed what is going on.
I'm looking forward to getting off this network (I'm currently on a
hotel network).
Thanks for all your (and everyone else's) help in figuring out what is
going on here!

I wonder if xemacs is being too smart for its own good... try:
./getaddrinfo.test /tmp/launch-1CQvwq/
similarly:
dig @<dns server> /tmp/launch-1CQvwq/
My guess is that xemacs is looking at $DISPLAY and trying to "do
something" with it... and your DNS server is taking forever to tell you
that you asked it for a bogus "hostname" ... so getaddrinfo() eventually
gives up...
So the problem is probably:
1) Your network admins have misconfigured your DHCP server
2) xemacs is doing something it shouldn't based on $DISPLAY rather than
just passing it on to libX11

The display variable is set to:
DISPLAY = /tmp/launch-1CQvwq/:0
Running "xemacs -display ${DISPLAY}" hangs and takes a while to start
(just like running xemacs with no arguments). Using "xemacs -display
:0.0" works fine though...

commandline, but is there another less hackish fix?
*boggle* Shouldn't that be the default? (Well, actually, the launchd
socket which ultimately leads to :0.0.) What is $DISPLAY?
