Comment 35 for bug 1012858

Somewhat nice that after nearly 10 years something has been done about this.

Yet I strongly suspect that this "cures" just one of the symptoms of a deeper issue,
namely some busy waiting whenever a network connection is a attempted but the network or the addressed server is (temporarily) unavailable.

See also bug 1107251, bug 683651, bug 562977, and likely several more.
