[python-win32] pythoncom error -2147180508. What is it?

[Joss Gray]

I'm using the awesome wmi package in my application which I understand uses
pythoncom.

I'm using wmi to perform operations like setting the IP of a network
adapter, reading various bits of system information.

I'm finding that once in a while calls start failing with an
error -2147180508 ( 0x8004A024 ). I can't find any reference to this error
anywhere in the COM Error Codes documentation here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd542642(v=vs.85).aspx

Has anyone observed anything similar?
