Pan cannot show message bodies

Description
After reading news for a while, Pan doesn't get the message body when I click on a message. Nothing happens, the task goes to inactive/queued at some point.
I was connecting to my own server, so I found out that there were 15 connections hanging around. Most of them were at TIME_WAIT or CLOSE_WAIT, but they did still exist. I believe that the news server software refused to open more connections at this point.
It looks like Pan opens new connections without closing old ones.
In the server settings, 2 connections are allowed to this server. It can accept more, but I wanted to be on the safe side, and have no problem with this setting in other clients. For text news, more than two active connections are not necessary in my experience.
This did not happen when reading through one group using the space key. Only when using the mouse to jump to an article, possibly only when changing the newsgroup.
I experienced this on Windows, but I find it unlikely that the issue is Windows only.
