This bug has been filed, closed, etc., and timeouts recommended. I did get
some improvement with a ridicultous timeout and multiple retries. For a while.
There was a period when this was not a problem, then it came back.
IF there be no timeout problem, then the workaround I propose will simply not
get exercised. However, having the alternative could be a better solution,
since the timeouts and retries do not always solve it but "smaller" accesses
(to single servers?) do seem to work more consistantly when needed.
