我尝试使用asyncore做简单的异步http客户端：
这段代码工作正常,输出是(快速)：

www.gmail.com  :  recv http code:  301
www.yandex.ru  :  recv http code:  200
www.python.org  :  recv http code:  200
www.google.ru  :  recv http code:  200
www.gravatar.com  :  recv http code:  302
www.com.com  :  recv http code:  302
www.yahoo.com  :  recv http code:  302
www.bom.com  :  recv http code:  301

但是,与我不存在主机的取消注释：

#c = AsyncHTTP('http://www.no-such-host.ru') #!this line breaks execution!

执行中断,代码挂起一段时间,输出部分数据并挂起,没有最后的数据输出：

connection error: [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname
www.gmail.com  :  recv http code:  301
www.yandex.ru  :  recv http code:  200
www.yahoo.com  :  recv http code:  302
www.com.com  :  recv http code:  302
www.bom.com  :  recv http code:  301
www.gravatar.com  :  recv http code:  302

…
一些主机在这里丢失,并在开始时长时间延迟.

为什么会这样,以及如何解决这个问题？
