But much better than > waiting forever. Yeah, I'd put in a dumb fix for this that turned out to be buggy, so we just recently reverted it. I have a more thorough fix in progress somewhere here, that would report a server connection failure without interrupting the rest of the servers, but it's not done yet. I've had very little time for coding recently, but will get to it At Some Point. Glad it's at least better than it was. I wonder if we should have some generous timeout set by default...
