strange error

[John Meacham]

unfortunatly no, the program is a network client (gale client <gale.org>) 
and I dont know what the conditions on the net were at the time so
cannot reproduce them. i have run the same program for weeks on end with
no problems in the past though.  it also uses concurrency pretty
heavily.
