OH YUMMMY!!! I was hoping not to here that  *8^).

I tried this 50 times in quick succession and they all failed.
I do get a slightly different message or is that a petty difference
between ports?

   Connection closed by foreign host.
versus your
   Closing connection 1.

Further details:

I have two sessions open with the box.  These connections
were made BEFORE any updating from 1.2.1 to -current.  They
still function correctly.  It's new connections that fail 

........ ummmm I betthis is an incompatibility between
