Or until the apache hard timeout is reached, IIRC.  Although mod_ic 
might not be the culprit on this issue, it could mitigate the issue.  
It's clearly "stuck" somewhere waiting for something to happen.  Maybe 
at connect?  Would it make sense to set up a hard timeout at the 
beginning of mod_ic's code path and kill it at the end?  The current 
code only sets timeouts during RX, TX, and select but not during 
connect.  In the end, it seems like mod_ic's entire exchange with IC 
should not exceed apache's hard timeout value and I don't believe that 
the current code ensures this.
