I've already mentioned it on IRC, so just for the record. Since the 
select/poll work, svn doesn't work properly. For example:

svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm

times out while on a system from the 19th it succeeds.

Another thing I noticed is that dhclient takes longer now (more tries) 
to get an IP (though it eventually succeeds).
