It almost looks like that there needs some more digging.

I did some tests comparing Linux and FreeBSD. 1) The patch needs to be slightly modified for the Linux version, otherwise dillo won't even start correctly :-) 2a) When the timeout occurs while contacting unresponsive sites: The Linux version actually stops eventually and puts "ERROR: unable to connect to remote host" in the status bar. However, none of the error debug messgaes actually occur ... 2b) Same as 2a but under FreeBSD: dillo still keeps the "Contacting host" in the status bar, and the stop-icon is still unfaded. And the error message gets dumped as indicated in the patch.

But I'm afraid the logic how all these routines are accessed is a bit too compliacted for me right now :-)

Hi! I just made a quick patch and tested http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/all.html with a dialup on linux (no CPU hog, no problems, 80 of 83 images got). The idea was to make it analogous to IO_read(). Please test it under BSDs (it's on CVS). Cheers Jorge.-
