It's all system calls. If it hangs in `connect', bash has to wait until
the system call returns one way or another. There is no provision for a
timeout with connect, and any signal (e.g., SIGALRM) that bash tries to
set for a timeout will be deferred until connect completes or fails
anyway.

If that's a legit error, the problem might be with the server.
