Yes, I should have been a bit clearer about that.  Those changes were
specifically for "-5" (EIO) BAP errors, not EBUSY or ETIMETOUT errors.

Them all coming in one line was just a typo, now fixed.  The changes I
made wouldn't help for -16 (EBUSY) errors.  However some changes I've
made since should help with this.  Could you give the latest test
version a whirl and tell me how it works?
