Subject:[p4] Odd "partner exited" error while renaming

Yesterday I tried to reorganize a directory structure using integrate followed by delete - the usual. However, after creating a large branch spec for the task (93 lines, 91 one of them including ... wildcards) in the view) I get this error (both from p4Win and p4 on windows): "partner exited unexpectedly".

The server log doesn't show any errors as far as I can tell. (I see the integrate command but nothing follows it in the log.)

Any ideas? Is it just a connection failure, possibly due to the large number of files involved? (Probably a couple of thousand.) Or is there something in the branch spec that might be upsetting the server? (A circular reference that I'm not seeing, maybe?)

Breaking up the branch spec into individual integrate commands gets rid of the error, but I'm not certain it's working as I want. (Still exploring the results.) -Wm
