Well, I'm guessing that some resource is being held by some mechanism
somewhere in there . It only happens sometimes, and it does appear
to eventually time out. I've not yet figured out the pattern, but I
think it make be related to moving between networks (ie. when I shut my
laptop down at home and bring it back online elsewhere). It's not 100%
even in that case, though.

I'll try tunctl when this next occurs.
