Well, it passed the server/client test and worked with a couple of other
apps (and it cost me litres of blood :). So the problems looks more like
somewhere not handling an error return code ... It's not a big deal, I know,

that make people (especially customers) think "the code is broken,
it's never gonna work!". I'll keep digging ...
