unbound-control timeout when Unbound is not running

[BBcan177]

unbound-control timeout when Unbound is not running:

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf  status

version: 1.12.0
verbosity: 2
threads: 1
modules: 2 [ python iterator ]
uptime: 10628 seconds
options: control(ssl)
unbound (pid 98061) is running...

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf stop
ok

unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf status
Command takes forever to time-out.

Its the same for any other unbound-control command when Unbound is not running.

I do not get this, not for using a pipe and not when I use an ssl connection. It prints connect: Connection refused, immediately, and then unbound is stopped.

What settings do you have? I am using 127.0.0.1 for the SSL setup and a named pipe file for the unix socket setup.

Fixed this in the commit referenced, that adds a timeout of a couple seconds. When it expires, it prints that the remote server has timed out.
