Nope, this is a known issue. It happens a lot on Test Grid, where
there are nodes which are offering storage service but which
disconnect abruptly without saying goodbye or which take ages
(minutes) to respond to your requests. I encounter it frequently
because my blog is stored on Test Grid. It doesn't happen very often
grids with higher-quality storage servers. Here are some probably-
relevant tickets: #193, #253, #287, #436, #521, #573.
I would love it for this to get fixed. Maybe someone wants to
contribute to Tahoe-LAFS by fixing this issue?
