Re: zwgc hangs for a while

I know none of MY code was hanging :-)   (Insert harangue about "if we
had a real operating system with threads, etc..." here. ;-)

I would say, reduce the timeout, with one reservation.  Make sure that
failures are not cached, so one-time lossage won't cause that address
never to be resolved.

derek:  If the resolve fails, then the address will be printed as the
IP address (i.e. "18.72.0.109" instead of "BEEBLEBROX.MIT.EDU").
