Hi jackmack.

I tried to reproduced the error that you get when using fortune client, and it worked ok in my system. No blocking, and no endless loop. Even when I used another non existing IP, the window can be moved around, until the apperance of the error in connection message.

I'm using Qt 4.7.0, and win32-g++ with minGW. Maybe the problem is when using VS2008.

Hope this helps.
