Thanks for the heads up.  I haven't come across this as of yet, but this
will probably save me some hair-pulling at some point.  When would this
occur?  I've set the soTimeout to 10 minutes -- would I see the issue
globally after that time?  How would this manifest itself?

Good to know.  Thanks again!
