 You have stumbled upon an undocumented bug. It was unknown to Apple until
 three months ago when we informed the techies of it. They confirmed the
 reproducibility of the problem. No fix yet. I suspect we will not see one
 until next versions of MacTCP and ARA. I was surprised to find that we were
 the first users to tell them.
 
 Scenario #1: If anyone uses ARA to your machine while you are not actually
 using a MacTCP based application, then you must reboot before trying to use
 a MacTCP based application (it is the domain name resolver that is broken).
 
 Scenario #2:  If anyone uses ARA to your machine while you are actually
 using a MacTCP based application, then when they hang up the MacTCP based
 application will freeze.
