Well, IBM also has some old buggy piece of hardware that apparently
gives fatal errors but actually wants them retried:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110088696100005

After a bit of argument, they agreed to do it as a blacklist flag, so
you should be able to add the same flag to your gigabox.

I planned to put the patch in just as soon as they managed to send the
patch unmangled by a mailer, but they went very quiet.
