I do not understand your posting.
Mostly it was pointing out that there is a workaround people should consider making a habit, while the known but hard to replicate (and thus, hard to debug) error is being hunted. Heisenbugs should definitely be reported, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise; my apologies if it came across that way. But this one has been around a while specifically because it's a Heisenbug in a system that is, even without that, a very complex problem domain that crosses network, machine, and administrative boundaries, any one (or more!) of which could be involved. -- Joel Aelwyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ,''`. : :' : `. `' `-
