Hanging fetches

Hanging fetches

[Petr Baudis]

  Hi,

  due to the problem with kernel.org, I have a somewhat ugly situation
on repo.or.cz now:

  It's 18:24 now and peek-remote is hanging in a read(). My question is,
will this *ever* time out, and when? :) Perhaps the timeouts should be
adjusted to a more reasonable value, or implemented if they are missing
altogether, but I'm not sure what would be the best way to go about it -
alarm()? What value would be reasonable?

  Thanks,
