I still have this patch for kdelibs/kio/kio/connection.cpp on my local copy. 
This patch fixes a possible endless loop and thus a hang of an application. I 
posted this patch a few weeks ago but noone confirmed it. There was a short 
discussion about it not fixing the real problem, but I cannot come up with a 
better solution.

I've seen it happening at least once in kmail, probably because the imap 
ioslave just closed it's data connection to the application. I'd like to see 
this patch in, sorry that I'm such a late bird again.

I've appended the patch, please review and commit, I will be offline until 
friday.

regards,
