I've seen that also, but I discovered that I wasn't waiting long
enough.  The timeout is something like 30 or 60 seconds, which
seems like forever while you're staring at your screen.  Next
time try waiting a full two minutes before re-starting.

In my case it seems to be server dependent -- one server will
stall and the other two don't.

Yes, I think it would be helpful.
