Has anybody else seen this?  I got a message from Wolfram Schneider
yesterday:

It was repeatable, but it didn't stop login, so I didn't pay much
attention.  Then my daily backup stopped with the same message, though
all I saw in the log file was:

select: protocol failure in circuit setup

This was repeatable, but it was late in the evening, so I rebooted the
machine, and the problem went away.

I know it's not enough to go on, but it's worth a "heads up".  Has
anybody else seen this?
