Andrew please give this debugging patch a spin,

OK, will take a look at that this evening, hopefully.

BTW, Thomas Graf can also reproduce this and he is about
to post a log message from my patch.

distccd seems to be rather good at triggering networking problems - I think
that's the third one I've seen in the past few years.

Agreed, I remember the other hairy problems distcc could trigger.
