Perforce connection errors

[rsolb]

We're running into a lot of errors with Perforce using the 1.1.14
Perforce plug-in with Hudson 1.395 running on OS X 10.6. This occurs
for different jobs at different times. Some nights the builds succeed,
and others generate errors like the following. I looked at the
changelist that failed - it consisted of one file with a short
description. I've seen similar error reports but wasn't sure this was
the same issue.

We're having a lot of problems with this as well; it's logged at
http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-7664 and I believe the Hudson
core developers are looking into the underlying issue.
