This is the interesting bit.

I've also captured the 'self-healing' of the client state, although I'm
not able to make something of it myself. The full trace is at

It seems that 118 minutes after the failure the client makes a get-time
call which succeeds, and then everything is happy again.

I simply interpret that to mean that after 118 minutes the client
finally dumps the token and starts to make unencrypted file server
requests.

What I am seeing here is that the rx libary is detecting that the
token is expired.   It sends an abort to the server which simply
marks the client's connection in an error state.  Each subsequent
request from the client on that connection is responded to with the
expired token abort code.

The client code, though, in rxkad_client, doesn't appear to be able to generate one of these.
