Public bug reported: Intermittantly Chromium refuses to load a page, saying it's "Waiting for host", but basically something's up and it will never display the page. Hit refresh as much as you like, very rarely will this work. Restart the browser and it will usually work. Obviously this is not always a suitable option.
Obviously you're going to say "ah ha, maybe it IS the webserver", but I have firefox along side and it never has any trouble on the same pages at the same time. I notice from a google search that this is a frustration with Chrome, too, on many different platforms. This morning it has happened so frequently that it has pushed me to submit this bug report because it was becomming a serious productivity issue for me.
