Apologies for not responding sooner - Gutsy hosed some ext3 disk
partitions and I had to reinstall.

I'll need to contrive a non-responsive feed to give you a useful log but
in the meantime, I've done some analysis of what I observed and I
believe an explanation is apparent.

My conditions were a fresh install of liferea with the feed-update
interval set to 1 hour. The Debian P.O.T.D. feed was non-responsive and
the sequence of events was as follows:

1) liferea is started and indicates art.gnome.org was updated.
2) The update sequence pauses at Debian P.O.T.D., presumably timing-out due to 
its non-response.
2) In thinking nothing is happening, I click the Update All button and liferea 
indicates tuxmobil was updated.

The clue is in the way liferea reports activity in the statusbar.
Instead of reporting its current activity, it appears to report the last
completed operation. It also appears that the status message is pre-
loaded with the last feed name for any new operation.

In my case, clicking the Update All button resulted in that operation
failing (because another feed update was already in progress) and the
pre-loaded status message was displayed giving the illusion that the
update jumped to the final feed in the sequence.

I'd put this down to quirky interface design which leads to confusion
under failure conditions. The Debian P.O.T.D. feed did come back online
after I reported the bug and liferea did update the feeds correctly.
