Has anyone seen an error like this:

Exception `EOFError’ at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/buffering.rb:35 - end  
of file reached

I am running ruby 1.8.5 on linux. I have a xmpp bot that gets this after  
about 10 to 12 minutes of connectivity, at that point it throws the  
error and disconnects but continues to run.

Any clues would be helpful, thanks!
