I assume the later is right. With this version the bug seems to be
fixed, regardless of the commit count. Tested with different websites
and firefox works as expected again.
Ok, good. It was almost certainly the select/poll race fix - Mariusz
Ceier reported a problem with youtube hanging, and confirmed that the
poll/select fix seems to have cleared that one up. I suspect that your
hang on fb and spiegel.de were the same thing.

So I think the pipe code is stable again with current -git. Thanks for
reporting and testing,
