I'm mailing you off-list with results from the debug testing, so as to avoid spamming the list with attachments. -todbI've worked with Tod off-list to solve this problem. It turned out to be on application level and occurred due to connection exhaustion. I've fixed this for the Oracle brute script and will probably do a more generic fix, allowing the brute library to detect this kind of problem, in the future. The changes are commited as r22666.
