Comment(by nkvoll):

 As per rboultons request, I tried setting the end_time in
 apply_changeset_from_conn to RealTime::now() + 1.0, and 1.0, both of which
 had no effect.

 (In order to see if the timeout worked, I started the replication, then
 told iptables to block the incoming data:

 {{{
 iptables -I INPUT -m tcp -p tcp -j DROP --dport [port-number-from-lsof-i]
 }}}

 after which strace and gdb showed the process in a similar state. Opening
 the port in iptables again did not change the replication client state,
 which continued being stuck in the read.
