500-Connection reset by peer errors (version 5.47)

I've had a problem with many "500: Connection reset by peer" errors
showing up at seemingly random points in my script.
It always dies at the first call to sysread() in the "request"
subroutine in http.pm
I can perform the same action that my script does in Netscape or Lynx,
without ever getting these errors.
I did put in some code to repeatedly try the request over again until
it works, but sometimes it takes over 15 tries. I even had it wait a
random number of seconds between 1 and 10 between each try.
I know this is an operating system generated error when the network
connection is dropped.
My question is: is there something with regard to fault tolerance on
socket connections that Lynx implements which LWP does not?
Is there a way to work around this problem (other than trying the
request over and over again)?
If anyone has thoughts or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
