Great!  You might also want to look into the patch that Goetz mentioned
(and I was unaware of).

By any chance, is the 918 on 5.5 and the 947 on 5.0?  There is some
strangeness on 5.5 when you initially invoke certain posix things.  On
both releases posix generally starts up Streams/iX (strange console
status messages result) which takes some time (but not 3-5 minutes).
But also on 5.5, the OpenMarket web server takes forever (3-5 minutes)
to invoke the first cgi-bin script.  Neither streams nor fork() is at
play (directly) since the OMI server has already spawned it's server
pool at that point.  This was *not* a problem on 5.0 (although the
server did take some time to startup initially - which isn't a problem
on 5.5).

Afraid I have no easy answers to that one, but it could be another
manifestation of the same phenomenon.
