Comment 1 for bug 1271559

Sitka received a similar report from one of our libraries. Our network admin tracked the problem down, and I have a patch waiting to be tested.

You can see my commit here:

From what I can see, the problem results from an empty result set being returned when a server times out and the Perl code trying to call a function on an undefined variable.

I have not signed off on it yet because it has not been tested.
