Yes, and there are even several new test cases that verify this.

I honestly don't see many similarities between your problem and #1779054.
They're not the same.

Funny, I've never needed -ldl with my openssl installs. I figure this means we
need to extend the OpenSSL checks in configure to check if it also needs
libdl!

For us who're not overly good at French, what does it mean and why does it
happen? It looks like you're installing it to the same dir you built it in, is
that the case?

28 minutes, 34 seconds.

13 minutes, 44 seconds.

54 minutes, 37 seconds.

Is this latter 54 minute case really going through the same network hoops as
the first 28 minute case does?

This kind of behaviour is in 99.7% of all cases because you do this connection
over a firewall/NAT/router/whatever that times out "idle" connections after N
minutes and idleness and in your case I would say that N is greater than 13
and that your latter case doesn't use the same network route as your first
case did.

You should see the same problem with regular FTP as well.
