I suspect that it's just that whatever machine it's trying to connect
to is taking a few seconds to respond with a connection failure.
Coincidentally, I checked in a change a while ago that prints out the
address it's trying to connect to, so if you update from CVS, you'll
see extra logging telling you which server it's trying to connect to
when it takes a long time. Alternatively, print out the stringified
IOR of each object reference before you try to call it, and decode the
output with catior.

Once you know what it's trying to connect to, you can try connecting
to the host / port with telnet. I suspect it will take a few seconds
before you get a connection denied.

If that isn't the issue, I can only guess that it's the OS taking time
to clear up the remains of all the failed connections.

Cheers,

Duncan.
