The patch is being tested now and so far its working. It stops the 
looping at the third attempt like planned.  I just need let portmanager 
-u finish so I know there are no surprises at the end. I promise I'll 
post it tonight when this run is done.  I'll reply somewhere in this 
thread when I have a PR number and will cc everyone who is in
this thread as well.
