This is not a problem with your WPcom and Landing Zone. This is a problem
with the HD driver...I had this problem all the way back in 0.13, but
was able (with lots of help from Linus) to get it to go away. I'd look
into the HD driver, at the timeout code. Perhaps make it longer, perhaps
muck with it awhile.
