bug? udpsend hangs on snow leopard

Hi list,

I start up max, make a new object, literally type "udpsend blahblah.local 5000" and Max waits (effectively hangs) for a full minute until it comes to the conclusion that it cannot resolve this address.

This problem appeared after installing snow leopard (10.6). In Leopard (10.5) the object also makes me wait too long without being able to do anything else, but there it takes only 3 secs.

I know this for a fact, since I've switched between operating systems twice today and tested this. The results with clean installs are consistent.

My computer is a discrete macbook pro, 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

But... I see nobody else complaining about this. Am I really the only one or am I the first one speaking out for millions of frustrated max users worldwide?
