Description of problem:
ipmitool sdr elist all takes almost 3-4 minutes to complete

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ipmitool: 1.8.11
o ipmitool 1.8.11 downloaded from:
ftp://www.ioncomputer.com/Tools/ipmitool/ipmitool-1.8.11-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Why did we download the ipmitool 1.8.11 from the above:

Because: 
1. The temperature information was being showed as disabled on the ipmitool that RHEL 5.x ships (this was on Dell R610)

On Dell R610, I was getting the CPU temperature is disabled (works fine on
Dell 1950).
[root@eng61002 ~]# ipmitool sdr elist all | grep emp
Temp             | 01h | ns  |  3.1 | Disabled
Temp             | 02h | ns  |  3.2 | Disabled
Temp             | 05h | ns  | 10.1 | Disabled
Ambient Temp     | 07h | ns  | 10.1 | Disabled
Temp             | 06h | ns  | 10.2 | Disabled
Ambient Temp     | 08h | ns  | 10.2 | Disabled

How reproducible:


On a dell server 1950, run  "ipmitool sdr elist all" , it takes 3-4 minutes to complete.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the latest 1.8.11 ipmitool
2. Run  ipmitool sdr elist all 
3. See that it takes 3-4 mins
  
Actual results:
3-4 minutes to execute

Expected results:
Should return in 3 - 4 seconds.

Additional info:

If I revert back my ipmitool version to 1.8.8 then it seems to work, but the temperature shows as disabled on the new hardware.
