python-adns 1.1.0-2 doesn't fix the problem in my tests. There is only a
fix to make it build from source again, and libadns1 version remains the
same. A fix in python-adns would need to change ADNS.py method run or
adnsmodule.c method ADNS_State_select. It's easy to see that when no
adns IO is happening, it sleeps the given time because it calls select.
As the problem is a kind of starvation issue and it mostly just slows
things down, I can accept that something has changed in your system which
alleviates the symptoms. In any case, you might want to double-check that
you really are testing with the unpatched straw 0.26.dsfg.1-2.

It's also fairly easy to see that the patch is harmless, because timeout
only affects the time select waits, and we wait the remaining time in
the following lines of URLFetch.py anyway, before the next run.
