posting to gmane hangs indefinitely until abort & repost

I have some trouble posting to news.gmane.org using slrn. The actualy
posting often hangs and I have to abort and choose Repost at the prompt.
It is then processed quickly, without hanging.

I get the feeling that there is some network connection that has timed
out (while I was writing the article?), and which isn't properly renewed
until the repost (retry) is done. That's a wild guess.

I have never used slrn before, or with another news server. Version is
1.0.1.
