No that's okay, it's the same symptom as I fixed last weekend,
question is if it's the same rootcause.

I've read on IRC that you're using an external diff3 program. Can you
try with serf @ http://serf.googlecode.com/svn/branches/0.3.x to see
if that fixes your problem?

If this branch doesn't fix it, can you help me debugging a bit? I'd
like to know why it hangs in apr_pollset_poll. One reason I already
know is that serf_connection's are getting closed while the associated
sockets are still connected. Attached patch will print a backtrace
each time the connection is cleaned (only works on *nix with gcc
compilers). Can you use it and send me any backtraces you get?

thanks,

Lieven
