Hello, Everyone
The results were interesting:
1. Rebuilding emacs-24.0.97-1.fc18.src.rpm and changing "resolv=no" to
"resolv=yes" results in my problem being fixed!  Emacs works perfectly
for me rebuilding this SRPM with the noted change.
2. Rebuilding emacs-24.0.97-1.fc18.src.rpm and NOT changing
"resolv=no" to "resolv=yes" results in my problem NOT being fixed.
3. Rebuilding emacs-23.3-9.fc16.src.rpm does NOT work for me at all.
Making the same changes referred to in points 1 & 2 above results in
me still having the same problem with Emacs that I've had for a long
time now...

So, I guess I will keep running the Emacs that I got by rebuilding
emacs-24.0.97-1.fc18.src.rpm and changing "resolv=no" to "resolv=yes"
in "configure"

Thanks to everyone for your time and advice,
