D'oh!  I forgot to cc the list with my reply, so here it is again...

According to Jonathan Schlackl:

OK, that tells me it may be hanging in HtHTTP::ReadChunkedBody().  We've
had reports before of problems in that code, but nothing solid to pin
it down.  A stack backtrace might help, as would any info you have on
the server you're indexing, including the headers for the file that
caused the hang (you'll find them in the -vvvvv output before all the
repeating chunk size messages at the end).

Which latest snapshot are you using?  If you're using 3.1.6, it should
side-step the problem with chunked message bodies because 3.1.x only
support HTTP 1.0, not 1.1.  However, if I understand correctly, 3.2.0b4
still has this problem with ReadChunkedBody.  Please correct me if
I'm wrong.  If the latest 3.2.0b4 snapshot doesn't hang the way the
older ones did, I'd like to know.  I don't think the HTTP handler has
been modified in a few months now, so I wouldn't expect a difference.
Knowing the full names of the tar files for the snapshots that work or
fail would help.
