I'm not sure I understand your definition of "hang" here.

Are you referring to a socket that libcurl "owns" that you won't get any
notifications about activities on, possibly because libcurl hasn't given you
the correct bits to check?

That does indeed sound bad, but I've not seen it happen. We even have test
cases to verify connect timeouts during a very slow SSL connect so I think it
generally works.

But unless you can provide a recipe for us, I'm not sure what I can do about
this...
