I noticed this on my home 5.2-CURRENT systems with Mozilla-1.6.  When
I just upgraded my work's 4.9-STABLE system with Moz-1.6 via
portupgrade and now I see it there too.

At home I can't disable IPv6 on CURRENT as X11R6-4.3.99.12 seems to
need it to work.  

On both systems, I am running DJBDNS's "dnscache".  When I see Mozilla
hang trying to resolve (something like ad.doubleclick.net) I can
immediately resolve it from a shell with "dnsip ad.doubleclick.net".
So it definitely seems something mozilla specific.
