Yes, it is doing exactly that.  The function error_wrap is recursing on
itself with no counter in place to stop it.  Not sure what the recursion
limit is in Python, but it looks like it did close to 500 recursions
before it finally died, trying to connect to the server.  Since it could
never get a connection, it finally died.

I'll keep this in mind as I try to improve some of the error handling.

Perhaps you could try this run again tonight to see if it fails again?
