Bug Description

The supermirror-pull script seems to hang semi-permanently if there is a network failure.

This past weekend, we experienced a network outage that caused connections that were already established to hang / fail. The supermirror-pull script seems to have hung as a result.

Once the network outage was resolved, supermirror-pull was stuck and never exited. It remained holding its lockfile, preventing subsequent runs from starting.

I had to kill the hung script and remove the lockfile manually to get supermirror-pull to be able to run again.
