I have a weird case that seems to case Net::HTTP to hang in the middle  
of a post.  I haven't yet found a reliable way to reproduce the issue,  
which is pretty much why I'm writing.  I guess I'm hoping someone will  
be familiar with what I am saying and we can compare notes.

Anyway, it happens pretty much like this:

1.  I call into Net::HTTP to post some data to the server
2.  Something odd happens on the server (it's very rare, so I assume  
it's some kind of error condition)
3.  My call into Net::HTTP never returns or throws an error

I haven't totally confirmed this yet, but it looks like a background  
thread I have going does keep running while the code remains forever  
stuck.  That surprised me.

The process no longer responds to a TERM signal though.

Anyway, it's clear I'm in the dark here.  Anyone else ever seen  
anything like what I am describing?
