Could be any number of things, possibly waiting for data to arrive on a 
socket and maybe there are network problems. Perhaps try pinging the 
servers, tcpdumping the traffic to see if there are interruptions or 
time outs, look at netstat -p ip/tcp/arp/icmp etc, and sockstat etc.

Sorry, not much concrete, just ideas how to start troubleshooting...
