IMHO there's a bug with reply-wait timeout set too low in ComOS.

Run "show sessions" command. When run for the first time the output will
contain symbolic names OR numeric addresses depending on how
fast reverse DNS servers have reponded to PM's queries. On the second
and subsequent times there will be only symbolic names (provided
there's working reverse address mapping of course). Looks like
late responses to the first query were cached and used later.

I think a switch to disable symbolic names in output of some commands
would be useful (like -n in pin, traceroute, netstat, etc).

But ComOS command language lacks concept of switch or qualifier...
