If one hits the Abort button (the spinning world on the top right) in
MOSAIC the connection is interupted but it isn't properly cleaned up.
The TCP socket used by MOSAIC isn't closed,
so the server on the other end doesn't actually recognize the abort but
assumes just `slow response'. Single threaded servers, like the CERN HTTPD
used by KP3, than hangs until the offending MOSAIC session is terminated.
Workaround: Don't use Abort, be patient.... Please: In case you hit Abort and you have problems with the
server afterwards --> Terminate and restart MOSAIC.
