[New-bugs-announce] [issue11199] urllib hangs when closing connection

[rg3]

New submission from rg3 <sarbalap+freshmeat at gmail.com>:

If you run the attached program, you can see the program hangs in the connection close stage. Uncommenting the sleep line makes the program work, so I suspect some kind of race condition.

The URL used belongs to a Slackware Linux mirror. I have not been able to reproduce this problem when using a different FTP mirror or using HTTP mirrors. 

The remote server seems to be using pure-ftpd. I have built the software and tested on localhost, but I could not reproduce the problem either.
