Some of our test jobs include changes to the system clock of the slave. With Master on XP and Slave on Windows 7, this results in socket closed errors and failure of the job. I can reproduce this by manually changing the date of a Windows 7 slave while running a job that would normally complete. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
