Well, that's clearly information I didn't have access to ;)
We *have* seen it before. But I guess that change either made it more
likely to happen, or it's a different issue with the same message.
But this one may well have been the -1 vs PGINVALID_SOCKET checks. It
didn't show up in my intial tests, but it also didn't show up entirely
consistently before :S The latest run of mastodon is also not showing
it.
Did those two members produce consistent issues? Can you give them a
couple of kicks to get enough buidls out of them to figure out if this
solved the problem?
