asterisk users - Mar 2011 - Asterisk -rx command not returning data - Version 1.4.33.1

Hi List
 
I am having trouble running the command 
 
siptest:~# asterisk -rx 'dialplan reload'

most times it does what I expect and I get a response as below
 
siptest:~# asterisk -rx 'dialplan reload'
Dialplan reloaded.
 
every now and then I get no response i.e.
 
siptest:~# asterisk -rx 'dialplan reload'
siptest:~# 
 
and a "verbose 10" setting shows 
 
[Mar 14 19:07:41] ERROR[3092]: utils.c:968 ast_carefulwrite: write()
returned error: Broken pipe
    -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected
siptest*CLI> 
 
I assume the problem is timing but any ideas on how to fix it 
 
The test is running in an idle box Debian Lenny asterisk version 1.4.33.1
unpatched
 
Any ideas would be helpful
 
Paddy

I'm just a 1.2 Luddite, but it's been my experience that issuing shell 
command lines and parsing the output is unreliable. Kind of hit or miss, 
sometimes you get more that you expect, sometimes less.

It takes too long? E.g.: more than 0.5 second?
