Pan hangs when "Making a new connection to: domain.com"

If you point at a non-nntp (or non-functional) server, pan .91 will hang forever. Even if you go back and correct the server name, purge the task, and try to re-load the groups-list. Only way around (so far) is to close pan and restart. Pan should at least log an error in its event-log if the connection to port 119 is refused.
It's blocking in socket-impl-gio.cc::create_channel(). It might be a good idea to shop that out to a worker thread. Rewriting it to use nonblocking versions of the same network functions would be even better.
