This seems unlikely to me to have actually fixed the problem.  For me,
merely restarting Evo gets it working again.  The problem is
intermittent (I run my evo for days at a time), but it does happen
semi-regularly to me.  My best guess is that Evo just leaks file
descriptors under some circumstance that is related to uptime, but not
necessarily directly related.
