bug #26 (see [0]) was caused by the same problem, so apparently you're
not the only one who gets this message. I've committed a fix to the Git
repository which
- fixes the file descriptor leak mentioned in the bug report, and
- is more informative about what really happens.
The changed code will tell you whether a timeout or an error occurred
and will tell you the precise error message, too. Would you mind giving
this a shot before I pack and release 4.3.4 and 4.4.3? Hopefully this
will tell is in more detail what's going on..
