After issuing strace xulrunner application.ini I get the following
repeatedly:

poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=23, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=26,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=27, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11,
events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=29, events=POLLIN}, {fd=20,
events=POLLIN}], 9, -1

<wait 2-3 minutes>

) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLIN}])
read(4, "b\0a\2\1\0\200\2\3\0`
\2\1\0\0\0\362\327\221\0\361\327\221\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 4096) = 32
read(4, 0x7fa802f54074, 4096)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
read(4, 0x7fa802f54074, 4096)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)

That went on for about 3 hours.  Not being a programmer, I have no
idea what I am looking at.

Anyone else having this issue?  Is it XUL or distro based?
