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.
