clone and pull "premature EOF"

[Paul Copeland]

We have had 5 clients failing some intermittently and some consistently.

1 linux machine stalled on hg pull several times over a period of  
couple of days and has been working since.

3 windows systems - windows 7 home premium, Windows7 64 bit, Vista

Don't know what OS the 5th one is.

re. "Windows is not ideal", hey of course!  But we used it with no 
problems with hg for a few months so hopefully we don't all have to 
switch out our workstations in order to use Mercurial  ;-)

The server people are looking into it...
