If long timeouts don't make the problem go way, then my first
guess would be that messages are being discarded.  It would be
nice to know whether this is happening on the server side or on
the client side.  If server side, I think CA should be writing error
messages to the console, and you wrote some software to store
console output to files, right?  If there's no telltale in your
files, then maybe the messages are being discarded on the client
side.
