No problem. Already deployed on both machines for testing:

svn/git machine:
Everything looks fine at the moment, I can not reproduce this issue

otrs issue:
There it is harder to reproduce. I would send you an update, if it still

If it fixes the problem, do you have got an idea which changes to pick 
up for fixing jessie?
Maybe it is relevant, that all our services are reachable about HTTPS?
