[leafnode-list] various hangs with fetchnews

[John Covici <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found various hangs with fetchnews using 2.0b8.

If the remote server connects, but doesn't respond to a command,
fetchnews will sit there for at least several hours waiting.  I
eventually killed the thing, but it was quite a while.

Also, I saw fetchnews trying to get an article for 4 hours, it looked
like bytes were coming in, but the size of the file didn't change and
when I killed it after 3 hours or so, the size was not very much
bigger.  I know it was trying to get the same article all the time
through the use of lsof .

Any way to get around these -- do you know what fetchnews is trying to
do when this is happening?

Thanks.
