What were you trying to do?
If you do an olcr send and it times out on you, then it seems to
be not-possible to connect successfully to the daemon again.
What's wrong:
olcr> se
Please enter your message. End with a ^D or '.' on a line by itself.
It sounds as though yes, the stuff given you was incomplete.
^D
What now? (type '?' for options): s
sread: select: Connection timed out
write_file_to_fd: Error reading text from file /tmp/OLC20939.82, n=-1: Connection timed out
Unable to send message.

*** Insert long silence here ****
I hit C-C, got out of olcr, started up a new one, and everything was
fine.
The same situation occurred as I was rushing out last night, but that
time I was trying to "show" the message my user had just send me.
What should have happened:
1. olcr should recover from timeouts
2. olcr should save the message you were sending so you don't
have to compose the whole thing again.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Thanks!
