Might be a file that's corrupted... Try doing the discover (and a
subsequent ping) to some other directory. If that works, simple remove
the old and redo, if not, well... then I suppose a reinstall is in
order (which would rewrite any corrupted files). You shouldn't need
disable pyzor, bu... better safe than sorry, I suppose:-).
IIRC doing discoveries all the time (well, once per day:-) isn't
really necessary with pyzor... Unless I remember wrong there only is
one server, and thats the way things are. So one could well hold of
with the discoveries until one sees that pyzor just don't work:-).

A philosophical musing one could have is on the reliability of a
service that only have one central server ... :-). Puts all those
"TimoutErrors" into perspective:-)
