If you don't consider a several minute pause a hang, then, no, it does not
hang.  That said, I described a several minute pause a few lines down.

I've documented the exact responses in the low-level log I provided and also
there is a detailed log of the server's communication direct from the
internal server logging in the link to the bug fix I posted earlier today.
I can't see any value in spending more time documenting this here, since it
is a well-documented and now fixed bug in the server, confirmed by at least
two other people, including the server's main author.

Indy could detect this buggy server and try to work around this bug, but as
I said, it may not be worth it, since it may be a very rare case.

Anyway, you and I don't seem to communicate very well (and never really have
in the past), so I'll leave things as-is and say goodbye now, before I
further clutter this newsgroup.
