Thanks for your work :)

Hmm, ok, I get the failure again and I know why (see below).

I also know why I failed to reproduce it this week-end during my
other tests: even when using the installed bzr, I was still using
the local bzrlib from my sources.

bzr-gtk related, reported upstream (dbus), fixed there, will find
its way back.

Not related to our problem.

Ok. Sorry for my insistence there but an *ssh* password from
tests related to *http* was non-sense.

So I know realize that the ssh related one is certainly another
bug, I focus on the http hangs here.
