These fixes should correct a number of reported network-related hangs. We might want to release a subset of these as an errata patch to 7.1 if they shake out well in 7-stable. Thanks again, especially, to Pete for his evaluation of bugs and patches, Kip for his fixes in head, and to Dmitrij Tejblum for his submission of the fixes in the above-mentioned PR.
