Good call Tom, this is most definatly the problem! As the 'busy loop' that has been fixed that you speak of would have caused this EXACT occurance.
The bug caused HttpClient to continually call the Socket's 'int InputStream->read()' over and over even though the socket is allready closed (the function is returning -1, but it is being ignored, and thus called again and again inside a while loop that does nothing but calling InputStream->read() :). Ken, I almost guarantee this is your problem. If you are using a version older than aprox 2 weeks ago, upgrade to cvs. I am also not sure if Alpha 3 contains the fix; however, the fix was provided and approved a few days before alpha3 came around, so it should be in there.
