Looks like the HC3.1 retry count also defaults to 3.

I don't now remember exactly why I overrode the setting.
I vaguely remember seeing some retries in a test I was doing, and
thinking it would be better to know about them.

It is possible to revert to the previous behaviour - just define the
JMeter property:

httpclient4.retrycount=3

Could you retry the test with that setting and see if that fixes the
bahaviour for you?
