yeah, I've just added a new error policy object to the boost socket
template, so it should tell you something slightly nicer now (such as 
the name of a function and the type of error). if you can get a fetch
off my depot, you should have that.

probably the timeout you were seeing was the slashdotting the server
received yesterday (not monotone, but a co-hosted site), which is still
kicking our ass slightly. I at least managed to post my changes today.
