tlsdate does not always timeout

[adrelanos]

In some cases it would run forever. Example:

~ $ date
Mon Oct  6 14:14:08 UTC 2014
~ $ time tlsdate --dont-set-clock --showtime=human -H "defectivebydesign.org"
^C

real    29m13.015s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.004s
~ $ date
Mon Oct  6 14:44:15 UTC 2014

I'm unclear on why this fails for you:

time usewithtor tlsdate --dont-set-clock --showtime=human -H "defectivebydesign.org"
Thu Oct  9 20:39:46 UTC 2014

I cannot reproduce it anymore myself. I'll get back to this, when I find another server that produces this behavior.
