By "hangs" I mean it doesn't progress beyond "Looking up...". I am
still able to navigate the menus and open pop-ups say via "About"
menus, etc. while in this state. However, it becomes totally
unresponsive if I Server->Disconnect or XChat->Quit.

I understood the FAQ. I ran an ircd locally to speed up my
debugging. No numeric IP works (freenode or otherwise).

To make this crystal clear: no connection progresses beyond the 
"looking up..." message: not hostname not IP, not local, not
remote, nor any permutations thereof.
