If you experience a lag of over 120 seconds, ICC disconnects you. However, the disconnect sends a packet to you to tell you that. If there is a net problem, that packet gets 'lagged' to, and eventually dies. You think you are still connected, ICC is no longer talking to you, so you 'hang'. I don't know why they started that, but it is the wrong way to disconnect. You can't disconnect during a lag for the reason I gave above.
