Maybe similar to what we've seen in the past, when downloads failed for 
some people with "500 Internal Server Error" while it was fine for 
others. The theory is that sunsolve.sun.com is a load balancer, which 
directs the client to any of the backend machines (and caches the 
client-server relation). So if one of the backend machines is broken in 
some way, only certain clients will see the problem.

Just a minor hint - using pca's -V/--debug option makes that easier :)

If it's as described above, it's sunsolve which keeps the correlation, 
and you can only wait for it to timeout (a day seemed to be a reasonable 
period in the past).
