Hi, I evaled the form

 (open-network-stream "nntpd" (current-buffer) "SERVER-NAME" "nntp")

and get 

connection failed: operation in progress, news, nntpd

I would very much like to know why it does this because I think this
is related to my problem. This appears to happen more often than not
when I've already got a connection open. At this time I'm slurping
news in the background with "slurp" 

Why does it do this?
