Interesting.
When exactly do you see the freeze and how long time does it take
for it to go away (if it ever goes away)?
E.g., do you see it when the XORP processes are starting?
If yes, do you see it if you have an empty "interfaces" section or
even an empty configuration file.
I am trying to find whether just starting the XORP processes (or any
large processes) themselves triggers the freeze.
