It's not a timeout. If it was, the exception minor code would be
TRANSIENT_CallTimedOut.

The COMM_FAILURE means the TCP connection was unexpectedly closed.
Possibly the network broke. Another alternative is that the server tried
to send something larger than the maximum message size (which is 2MB by
default), and therefore dropped the connection. You might learn
something by turning traceLevel 25 on on the server.

Cheers,

Duncan.
