problem with if error? try [block] [block]

Hello, I send a binary (bin_out) to a server (remote) which is supposed to send back a reply If the out-going binary is malformed, it causes the server to crash. The code below writes to a log when that happens. (The Rebol window and Rebol console always immediately after that). The problem is that I can't get the second part of the try statement (starting with [wait 2] to work, unless there has been at least one successful run-through of the first part (the 'wait remote' part). Is this a bug with try? -- Doug Edmunds ---start--- ;(connection already opened) insert remote bin_out if error? try [wait remote] [wait 2 print "Server crashed. See crash.txt" error_msg: reform [now {Server crashed} bin_out ] write/lines/append %crash.txt error_msg ] ;(get data from server) bin_in: copy remote [] --- end---
