I still haven't found time to debug it, but I see the hangs daily (on
builds on different machines).  I'd guess few other people see this
because they don't use the network as intensely from Emacs (you need to
have two TLS connections being set up "simultaneously" to see the hang).

But I don't think this should be a release blocker, precisely because so
few people see the bug.
