Just try NIN and if you still see the problem with that, must be a local
problem given that the pretzel and I don't see that stall problem with it.

If you don't see the stall problem with it, keep using it, its much
more reliable than the alternatives and costs peanuts per year.

Only thing it doesn't do is binarys.
