[Dxspider-support] Node hangs

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Sounds like a bugzilla to the perl developers is in order...

Subject: [Dxspider-support] Node hangs

Well, it finally happened to me (just now) whilst I was watching for
something else. I can confirm that is caused by an output queue on a
connection filling up and the code hangs in the perl IO subsystem until it
finally times out (usually after 20 minutes). I imagine this is, in turn,
caused by some ISP simply losing IP packets for dynamic addressed
connections that have either just dropped or had their IP address forcibly
changed. 

I have made some changes which may help; basically, if you are using a perl
that is modern enough [>=5.6.1?] blocking is implemented by internal perl
and not some perl POSIX compatible code that may or (it now seems likely)
may not work.
