SERVERFAULT is obviously lame, but I don't know that STALE_CLIENTID is
right either.

Another thing that's weird is:

I'd expect the clent to expire after a lease period (default 90
seconds), I don't know what could be happening that would take hours.

Also I don't know why those creds would change after a reboot.

Anyway I think a trace covering the reboot is still the best hope of an
explanation.
