I don't have any of the old log files from the official viewer so I'm 
going to start looking for it again and save the log when it happens so 
I can post. Translating .NET callbacks in libsecondlife to what is 
actually happening at the lower layer, lets see here:

BeginGetRequestStream succeeds
EndGetRequestStream succeeds
BeginGetResponse hangs (indefinitely?)

So it looks like the socket opens, the client sends a request, but the 
server never sends a response. I only go to three or four sims in SL 
usually, but out of those I've most often noticed it in Ahern on a busy 
night. The sim turns in to what I call a "blackhole sim" because you can 
teleport in just fine, but since CAPS is unavailable in that sim there 
is no way to walk or TP out, and you get trapped in the sim.
