- This is not a problem with your WPcom and Landing Zone. This is a problem
- with the HD driver...I had this problem all the way back in 0.13, but
- was able (with lots of help from Linus) to get it to go away. I'd look
- into the HD driver, at the timeout code. Perhaps make it longer, perhaps
- muck with it awhile.
