There is an EXTEMELY annoying glitch with our emacs setup and it is driving me  
batty!

I have a NeXT with version 2.1 of the system.  We have emacs 18.55 running.  
(Please don't tell me to upgrade to version 18.57 unless you can also supply a  
pointer to diffs or at least s- and m- files for the NeXT.)  There are several  
machines in our network and we are using yellow pages.  The problems is that  
whenever I try to find a file (either through "C-x C-f", "emacs file" or  
through a client talking to the server) emacs freezes completely for between 15  
and 30 seconds.  The file then loads and everything works fine.  In about 1 in  
10 times the file loads immediately with no delay at all.

What could be causing this?  I've tried completely removing my ~/.emacs file  
and restarting the program and that doesn't change anything.  The behavior is  
the same if emacs is run from a terminal window or in a NeXT wrapper.

Please respond by email directly to me and I'll summarize and post to the net.

Thanks.
