I am running the latest snapshot, it seems to work, or I could not
generate a long enough UID field to fail.  Watching debug they were
pretty long.

The problem with it being a server issue, is then direct telnet testing
should fail equally.  If the issue is the server, then telnet, or evo
should fail equally.  The only way I see to slip through, if for some
reason the direct telnet cut n paste broke the UID field such that an
error did not happen.

The other issue, as I mentioned, is that evo is going through
ssl-tunnel.  I was all set to test via s_client, but it all worked today
:(

I will test further when it happens again.
