I have more informations now. This trouble occurs only when the network is down. Reproduce the trouble with an inexistant host was a wrong idea. Sorry. Desactivating network on my Lenny Desktop doesn't give the same result. Timeout is working. Initially I had the same problem when I was working in mutt, loosing suddenly my (bad) network connection. Only a kill could give me the shell back.
