I saw that several times with 3.0.0, but not since 3.0.2 was 
installed from sources here.  At least now if I get a message stuck 
in the out cue, I can simply drag & drop it someplace else till I 
figure out why the network isn't. (my ISP has a tech that can't 
keep his dns authoritative to upstream dns's...  Sucks)
