The problem never occurs when the Director is idle.

The one datum i forgot to add (having forgotten it myself, since I
seldom have to interact with the Director manually) is that after all
running jobs complete, it FREQUENTLY (but not always, I think) becomes
possible to connect again.  (It did last night, for example.)  So there
appears to be some kind of factor of load involved.  It could even be
related to network utilization.
