Ok, it just started happening again, so I looked at my process list, which this
is an excerpt of:
------------------------
Proc Status Buffer Tty Command
---- ------ ------ --- -------
shell<1> run *shell-2* /dev/tty13 bash -i
nntpd<2> open *server
newsgroups.borland.com nntp *nntpd** (none) network
stream connection nntp(a)newsgroups.borland.com
nntpd<1> open *server
newsgroups.bea.com nntp *nntpd** (none) network stream
connection nntp(a)newsgroups.bea.com
nntpd open *server
news.earthlink.net nntp *nntpd** (none) network stream
connection nntp(a)news.earthlink.net
shell<4> run *shell-4* /dev/tty16 bash -i
shell<3> run *shell-3* /dev/tty15 bash -i
WWW<72> open *W3GRAPH*<73> (none) network stream connection
80(a)cfadvisor.webcoretech.com
[41 similar items elided]
WWW<30> open *W3GRAPH*<31> (none) network stream connection
80(a)cfadvisor.webcoretech.com
shell<2> run *shell-1* /dev/tty14 bash -i
shell run *shell* /dev/tty12 bash -i
gnuserv run (none) /dev/tty11 gnuserv
------------------------
I then went to my "*scratch*" buffer and executed '(kill-buffer "
*W3GRAPH*<73>")' 43 times, using each buffer name associated with each
"WWW"
process. At the end of this, no "WWW" processes were left, and when I tried to
load another similar file that was causing the same behavior as before, it did
not display the "halting" behavior, like it did before I deleted those buffers.
I didn't try to kill any other processes or delete any buffers associated with
any other processes.
So, it seems as if this "halting" behavior is at least indirectly connected to
these phantom network connections that Gnus opens and fails to close, for
whatever reason.
