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.
