Yup.  What's interesting is even if I download the pkg_summary.gz file
to /tmp/ via curl and use 'file:///tmp' in the repositories.conf file
I *still* get the stalling., at least on physical hardware on 11_RC2.
On a VM I generally don't have any issues.

Also, if I download the pkg_summary.bz2 instead of pkg_summary.gz pkgin
complains it can't find "pkg_summary.gz" ; seems like it's supposed to
auto-adapt to either archive type.
