Sample of the hang

This is bizarre -- the hang appears to be due to CFNetwork doing work on the main thread that is blocked waiting on the disk cache to shrink in a background thread.  Even weirder is that there are two CFURLCacheWorkerThreads.  This may be a bug in CFNetwork that recent changes in WebKit now tickle.

Sample output is from WebKit r32531.

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'.

This fix was shipped long ago.
