Well, I just got some time to look into this again and I cannot get
the command to fail at this time with 1.8.0. The sporadic nature of
it is quite frustrating. Perhaps because there is less network
traffic at the office at this time?
I have downloaded and compiled version 1.8.3 on my dev box. So when
the problem surfaces again I will be able to see if there is different
behavior between the two.
