Thanks for replying so quickly, Corey. I'll test these out.

One bit of info I pulled out of the stuck machine is that the response
looks properly formed.

I sampled the first 8 entries and they were all identical 19-byte
successful READ_EVENT_MSG_BUFFER responses:

  1c 35 00 55 55 c0 41 a7 00 00 00 00 00 3a ff 00 ff ff ff

So on this machine, the event replies do not look short or malformed;
they look like repeated successful event-buffer reads with the same
payload.

Thanks,
Matt
