Thanks for your response, regretfully so far it appears that patch did  
not work for us. For the record, we put the patch in "/usr/local/share/ 
perl/5.10.1/OpenSRF/Server.pm". In addition I wanted to mention that  
the test servers are all VirtualBox VMs, since that could somehow be a  
reason for the error.

We tried the patch on our test server VM based on master with  
max_stanza_size values between 2 and 5. We also tried it on our test  
server VM based on the official 2.1 release, with max_stanza_size  
values between 2 and 5.

We can also try to install a fresh copy of EG on a new XEN server  
platform assigned to me, but I will need a couple of days to finish  
the set up and installation.

Any questions or suggestions at this point?

THanks,
Yamil
