Are you using an HTTP proxy?  The pre-6.1 series portsnap did not play 
nicely with HTTP proxies.  There were some patches committed in March or 
so to address PR's on the subject.  I haven't had an opportunity to test 
the changes in my work environment (which requires HTTP proxy use) yet, 
but they look promising.

Thanks,
Marty
