gnus hangs when changing network

gnus hangs when changing network

[Rémi Letot]

Hello,

when I change network with my laptop sleeping (typical when I commute
between work and home), my whole emacs session often freezes if gnus is
there (which is always).

Not so long ago I just had to kill the openssl process, which abruptly
interrupted the imap connection, and gave me back my emacs.

Now that ssl is handled by emacs itself, I have no process to kill. And
C-g doesn't help. And it can stay frozen quite some time.

Besides quitting gnus before I commute (which I almost always forget)
and killing emacs (which is "Not Good"), is there a way to stop this
from happening ? Shouldn't C-g always work ?

Thanks,

I've seen something similar: all of my nntp connections refuse to
connect after a suspend, and a resume in a different network.

However, my imaps session (which needs openssl in a separate process, in
all of my ancient emacsen) have always survived.

So it is similar, but sort of the opposite, of what you see.

On my old setup, when it was using openssl, I killed openssl twice and
got my emacs back. So maybe it was imap and nntp.

On my current setup, I don't know what is hanging, probably all open
connections. But I don't know since I can't C-g and get debug info (not
that I could read it, but I could provide more info to the list :-)

`C-g' should always work, but I'm not sure how the low-level Emacs stuff
reacts to changing IP addresses and stuff.  The people on the
emacs-devel mailing list may know more.

I'll go and ask there, gnus is the trigger, but the tls stuff is emacs
proper.
