signal 13 (SIGPIPE) no_active_lock errors

[Kurt Lieber]

Of a network of approximately 2 dozen machines all running 2.1.0p1, I am
seeing errors similar to the following on ~3 of those machines:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
cfengine:adm01: Couldn't send
cfengine:adm01: send
cfengine:adm01: Received signal 13 (SIGPIPE) while doing [no_active_lock]
cfengine:adm01: Logical start time Tue Nov 25 01:29:58 2003
cfengine:adm01: This sub-task started really at Tue Nov 25 01:30:00 2003

cfengine:adm01: Couldn't send
cfengine:adm01: send
cfengine:adm01: Received signal 13 (SIGPIPE) while doing [no_active_lock]
cfengine:adm01: Logical start time Tue Nov 25 01:29:58 2003
cfengine:adm01: This sub-task started really at Tue Nov 25 01:30:00 2003

This error only seems to show up on file copies and even then, it only
appears on some of them.  (no consistent patterns)  If it fails on one run,
it will often succeed without problems the next run, even though all the
files in question are *identical*

I have verified that authentication is working fine and that all the
clients are sync'd via NTP.

There are a few posts in the archives about this:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-cfengine/2003-01/msg00048.html
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-cfengine/2002-10/msg00035.html
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-cfengine/2002-04/msg00087.html

But no solutions.

Any suggestions?
