I haven't been able to discover a pattern, but every now and then, when emacs tries to connect to a local server process as a client, `open-network-stream' throws an error saying that the connection was refused. Usually, repeating the command right away succeeds (so i know it's not that my servers are dying). This happens with leafnode in Gnus, with dictionary when querying the local dict server and when sending mail (again with Gnus) to my local smtp server. I'm not directly filling a bug because perhaps this is a problem with my network configuration (maybe my inetd setup), but i'm not aware of having changed it before the problem appeared. Except for the fact that i'm running Debian unstable. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas on where and/how to look in Emacs for a better diagnose? TIA, jao -- There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works. - Alan Perlis, Epigrams in Programing
