Bug - Not A Bug IOException on data post?

Never seen this before in my gCLI:

Verifying ingredients...
Verifying ingredients for Hammer of Smiting (1)...
Searching for "tenderizing hammer"...
Search complete.
Purchasing tenderizing hammer (1 @ 1,000)...
IOException during data post (store.php?whichstore=s&buying=1&ajax=1&whichitem=338&howmany=1).
Purchasing tenderizing hammer (1 @ 500)...
You acquire an item: tenderizing hammer
Purchases complete.
Creating Hammer of Smiting (1)...
You acquire an item: Hammer of Smiting

Note that that whole sequence took a good 5 minutes to fully resolve itself.

That message is Mafia's new way of indicating that it timed out, sort of. So my guess is that you ran into some kind of network trouble (probably the reason for the 5 minute time).

Yup. We are telling you that we "posted data" and some sort of network error caused an exception. It's not an indication that we did anything wrong, and there's nothing we can do to "fix" it.
