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.
