com.google.gdata.client.GoogleService.update: com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException suddenly being thrown

[Norman Eide]

We have an internal contacts syncing app that has been in use for
quite some time. Today, we have started getting the following
exception thrown when doing updates of Google Shared Contacts. Is the
Shared Contacts service having problems?

----------------------------
Exception in thread "main" com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException:
Internal Server Error
A temporary internal problem has occurred. Try again later.
