Q: many broken pipes, app stops responding

Hi.

We have an application that sometimes stops responding after a while  
and I have a lot of similar entries in the log:

9807040 [WorkerThread7] WARN NSLog  - <WOWorkerThread id=7  
socket=Socket[addr=/6
2.153.135.49,port=59219,localport=2011]> Exception while sending  
response: java.
net.SocketException: Broken pipe

What happens here? What can I do to prevent, that the application  
stops responding? I deploy on Mac OS X with wotaskd and applications  
running as user root under Mac OS X 10.3.7, WO 5.2.3.
