When crawling any https sites with httrack on Solaris, the
crawl litterally hangs. It becomes very very slow, it
occastionally gets some of the https site, but ends up
taking hours to get single files from them.

truss -p [pid] shows the following, looping over and over again:

Unfortunately, I do not have root access to the box, with no
gdb or httrack compiled with -g .. I can get that, probably,
but it takes a while for the request to be fullfilled to
have it done. Otherwise I would provide more information
(backtrace, etc)

Thanks for any help you can provide!
