um... have just been sacrificing chickens to this god as I had not
thought I could do anything about it.

Don't have the global picture-don't know if your code knows the nature
of the error.  Ethernet does a back-off recovery upon collision. 
Eventually it times out but it very often succeeds.

To minimize my problem I use prime numbers to config how often evol.
checks mail e.g. 11 minutes, 13, 17, etc. for the various accounts. 
This greatly reduces the frequency of errors but does not eliminate
them.

Clear as mud? :-)
