    Could you break into this with gdb, and get a back trace just to see
    what this guy is trying to do? Thanks.

    I know I've seen gconfd hang when starting up on -CURRENT with an
    NFS-mounted home if rpc.lockd wasn't running on the server. I've also
    seen problems where the local hostname wasn't resolvable or if there was
    a permissions problem on /tmp or /var/tmp.
