Long poll exception problem?

[ghost]

I get the following from time to time. This is the same no matter what pool I am mining from. I am not tech savvy enough to say if it's a bug or if it's a configuration issue. I thought I might post it in any case.

System is x64 Arch Linux with the poclbm-git package from AUR (pulling from this git tree).

19/06/2011 10:19:44, long poll exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/johan/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 259, in longPollThread

Same problem here... (Debian SID/AMD64). Wit Last poclbm from git (HEAD=cdf3b3c).

This issue happens with some polls (deepbit and mtred for example) but not with others (bicoins.lc)

pit.deepbit.net:8332 06/07/2011 16:35:08, long poll exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/bitcoin/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 338, in longPollThread
(connection, result) = self.request(connection, url, self.headers)
File "/home/bitcoin/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 308, in request
result = loads(response.read())
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/json/init.py", line 307, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 319, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 338, in raw_decode
raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

I though the commit cdf3b3c would fix this but it's not the case.
