  0.9.0 is old, and probably has a number of bugs which make these
problems worse.  I suggest testing the 1.0.0-pre3 release, to see if
it has the same issue.  If not, upgrade to 1.0.0 when it comes out.

  It may end up hanging around forever, say if the database never
returns anything to the thread.

  No.

  The same problem can occur when the server is talking to a database,
and the database doesn't respond.
