Logging off and on again solves the problem. This might be because of a corrupted DLL or a corrupted data area of a DLL. The command failure could have also been caused by a problem at the server side. In conclusion: repeating the same thing could give different results. This depends on what counts as the same. (There is a nice book called The Subtlety of Sameness.) I'm surprised that as users of a language that makes a big deal out of referential transparency none of you have said that neither invoking the same command at a different time nor invoking a browser after changing context (logging in again) is doing the same thing.
