I never had a chance to debug this, but upgrading to the 20040520
snapshot (from the 20040430) fixed this (as well as a hang using perl
Net::Ping to ping 127.0.0.1 via udp that I was seeing and others
apparently weren't.)

Both were probably dependent on firewall (McAfee) or vpn software
(Check Point VPN-1 SecureClient NG) I'm running, but seem to be better
now.
