Re: Org release_9.0 hangs

Hi!

My message from two weeks ago ("[O] Possible bug: Emacs hangs on 
(require 'org)") seems to have missed attention, so here it is again.

About every third time I start Emacs, I also experience a very slow 
startup with org-mode 9.0.3 enabled. I run "GNU Emacs 24.5.1 
(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-17 on lgw01-04, 
modified by Debian" on Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon.

Here is my minimal setup:

   ;;; Minimal setup to load latest 'org-mode'

   ;; activate debugging
   (setq debug-on-error t
             debug-on-signal nil
             debug-on-quit nil)

   ;; add latest org-mode to load path
   (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elisp/org_9.0.3/lisp")
   (require 'org)

Adding

   Possible bug: Emacs hangs on (require 'org)

to the end of this setup file doesn't change anything.

This bug is solved by disabling my network, but in contrast to Luke , I 
have access to a fast and stable network.

Normal startup time is below one second. When the bug hits, it is around 
2 minutes and 7 seconds, which to me looks suspiciously like a typical 
network timeout of 120 seconds.
