Try catching all exceptions and raising a placeholder exception with a
simple (error "foo")

Thanks Peter. I'm not sure where to add this but I'll experiment with it tonight.

I did test on a different system today and it kept going past 6k calls. However running "netstat|wc -l" showed a rapidly increasing number of TCP connections. It seems likely I'm not closing the connection but I don't see where to add the close.
