 I am getting a strange error while uploading files to Tahoe today.  The
 error is:

 "UploadUnhappinessError('shares could be placed on only 9 server(s) such
 that any 7 of them have enough shares to recover the file, but we were
 asked to place shares on at least 10 such servers. (placed all 12 shares,
 want to place shares on at least 10 servers such that any 7 of them have
 enough shares to recover the file, sent 10 queries to 10 servers, 10
 queries placed some shares, 0 placed none (of which 0 placed none due to
 the server being full and 0 placed none due to an error))',)
 (profiles_activity.frm)"

 My client settings are:

 shares.needed = 7
 shares.happy = 10
 shares.total = 12

 Actual available storage servers: 16

 What is strange about the error is that it shows that 10 shares were
 placed and that there were 0 errors.  However, I get an unhappiness error.

 The part of the error message that has me confused is:

 "sent 10 queries to 10 servers, 10 queries placed some shares, 0 placed
 none (of which 0 placed none due to the server being full and 0 placed
 none due to an error)"
