M2Crypto hangs on this URL

[John Nagle]

There's something strange about this URL:

"https://sagar310.pontins.com/sraep/"

It hangs Firefox 2; there's no short timeout, the web page just gets
stuck in initial load for about ten minutes.  Then
"The connection to sagar310.pontins.com was interrupted while the page was loading."

It hangs M2Crypto 0.17 on both Linux and Windows, for at least 4 hours.

What does the new SSL implementation do?  (Haven't tried that yet;
waiting for MySQL support for Python 3.x before converting web apps.)
