[AG-TECH] Is there a Venue Client time out?

[Thomas D. Uram]

Okay, the data transfer issue indicates that you lost not only the 
Jabber TCP connection, but also the eventclient TCP connection (the only 
two persistent TCP connections in the venue client).  Could you send 
your venueclient.log file for me to review?

Fwiw, I have left my venueclient running for many days at a time and not 
had this problem.

In any case, we'll track it down and fix it.
