I've applied what was suggested and it appears to be working.  Setting
ipsrc in the loop seems to address the problem immediately..  I had three
failures in a row and they all seemed to resolve themselves with the work
around.  We're about to take delivery of a new expansion (480 dx360m4's),
I'll get an idea if this is a reasonable "permanent" fix.
