hang if using wrong password for proxy authentication

Hi All,
If I use *wrong* password for proxy authenticaion while my application tries
to connect to a http server
through a proxy with *basic* authentication on, the connection attempt would
hang for a long time

does anybody have the same experience?
how can I avoid it? for instance, we can have a error caught by application
instead of hanging?

ps: I am using curl 7.10.7

thanks a lot
