Has anyone else had problems like the following under patch level 6?

I just put up andrew from scratch (patch level 6).  All seems to work
fine except console and help.  When console is started, it will pause
for about two minutes only displaying "Initializing default.." in a
blank window. It then will work normally, after displaying

"console:<OpenConsoleSocket> gethostbyname failed  (12:54:00 PM )

in its text window.

Help does a similar thing.  After I type 'help'  it sits for a few minutes
and then prints out:

	"No 'localhost' found in host table; creating new window."

However, localhost is in my /etc/hosts as:
127.1           localhost loopback loghost

These look like they could be manifestations of the same problem.
Has anyone seen this before? BTW, I'm on a Sun-4 under 4.0.3.
