   Lovely.
   The MCP took 5s to echo and respond to a ROT STATUS command, by
which time the TCC had timed out that command and gone on to send
others.
   Let me look into it. The 5s and the fact that the command was not
even echoed should be useful. Plus, of course, last night's instance
and maybe PR 6982.
