Hi,

I'm using Java 1.5. What does a "broken pipe" exception mean in the
context of parsing a file? Below is my code and the exception is
generated on the "xmlReader.parse" line. Stack trace is below. Any
ideas for troubleshooting further are appreciated. Thanks, - Dave

    GPGInputSource gpgInputSource =
      new GPGInputSource(new FileInputStream(file));
    try {
      InputStream inputStream =
        getInflatorStream(file.getName(), gpgInputSource.getInputStream
());
      xmlReader.parse(new InputSource(inputStream));
    } catch(AddressRequestLimitException e) {
      logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
    } finally {
      if(gpgInputSource.close() != 0)
        logger.error(gpgInputSource.getStandardErrorString());
      if(gpgOutputSource.close() != 0)
        logger.error(gpgOutputSource.getStandardErrorString());
    }
