Interesting, I notice the greater latency you mention on FC4 compared
with FC3, but for some reason the older pilot-link is more tolerant of
the increased delay.  I am using a locally built-from-SRPM on FC4
version of pilot-link-0.11.8-3 which has a patch to enable the Perl
bindings (which I need for SyncBBDB).  Have you tried rebuilding the
earlier binaries from the last FC3 SRPM on your new FC4 installation
and using them?

If this gets too off-topic, I'll followup on the Bugzilla entry.
