It seems to mean we got a message from the sftp server that we
couldn't understand.  It could be a bug in bzr, in paramiko (the
client sftp library we use) or your server.  Can you please file a bug
in <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug>.  Running bzr over
ssh rather using sftp may avoid the problem.
