The behavior of loading the whole TZ database was there for awhile
before anyone noticed; I believe it could only be responsible for a
few seconds. So the failed DNS responses must be the problem. Could
we get a ktrace with timestamps on the syscalls to confirm that?
Of course the $64 question is *why* is 8.0 trying to resolve that name,
particularly seeing that the later branches apparently aren't.
