Actually the failure was happening on the line below that in the call to
synth_request_region.

I don't have a fix for that yet, but now the code is set up to log the
error code and port number if that fails so hopefully we can see what is
going on.

Are you comfortable with pulling from git and testing with that code?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

William
