 Sorry, I was wrong in my reporting: it _doesn't_ break the connection. 
It is still connected, but it doesn't respond to anything. Even bad 
commands don't give "-ERR Unknown command." anymore. That's one reason 
why I think it is strange...

 But why does it work after just copying it a few times?
