It would be interesting to see the Hobbit server's hobbitfetch.log file
also around this time. I suspect there might be some "Timeout while
talking to ..." messages there.

Also, try enabling debugging for hobbitfetch with 
   "kill -USR2 <hobbitfetch PID>"
and then force a listing of the currently active connections with
   "kill -USR1 <hobbitfetch PID>"


Finally, when msgcache is in this state, what happens if you run
- from the Hobbit server - the command

   bb IP.OF.CLIENT.HOST "pullclient"

It should dump the last status message to the screen.
