In our environment, 100% of changelists that have associated jobs will generate
an error when Hudson needs to access them. So far this is the only case that
will cause this problem. This is with Perforce Plugin 1.0.14 (which, btw, had
some very positive changes... thank you).

It's possible this is a duplicate, although I didn't see any open tickets that
narrowed down problems specifically to changelists with jobs.

The P4D version is 2008.1.

Here's the error message in the build log:

[workspace] $ p4 describe -s 2346793

Here's what I see in the tomcat stdout log:

If there's any more information I can provide, please let me know. Having this
work properly would be a huge win for us.
