Why does LWP freeze with this URL ?

[SeeItAllGuy]

I been using LWP to retrieve selective web pages and it seems not to do a 
very good job with it. Many URL's it just seems to hang and become 
non-responsive till I step in and kill it :(  Here is my sample code below 
with one of the many URL's that LWP just does not respond with in hopes maybe 
someone can figure out a solution by observing it in action:

  use LWP::UserAgent;
  $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0") ;

  $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.stinky.com/alex/resume.html');
  $req->header('Accept' => 'text/html');

  # send request
  $res = $ua->request($req);

  # check the outcome
  if ($res->is_success) {
     print $res->content;
  } else {
     print "Error: " . $res->status_line . "\n";
  }
