Thanks for the reply Jeremy. We are not using the -c argument. And we are experiencing the same results with 1.2.1 as well. I will continue to troubleshoot the issue and report anything else I may encounter.<br><br>Stephen Bazemore

<br>guess we'll have to further investigate this issue; hopefully someone with<br>enough knowledge regarding sockets can explain the behavior you've exposed.<br>Try using version 1.2.1 to see if it changes anything.
