Errno::E232 (The pipe is being closed.)

I get this error on occasion using both Webrick and Apache2/FCGI:

This issue is random and seems to happen when multiple asynchronous
requests are sent to the server. I figured at first this was a
apache/fcgi config error but since I get a similar error using webrick
it sort of rules that out. Anyone have any ideas of where to start to
looking to correct this issue?

Thanks!

I forgot to include this:

The apache2/logs/error.log generates an entry as follows when this error
is encountered:

[Tue Dec 06 11:34:59 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.85] FastCGI: comm
with (dynamic) server “C:/MyApp/Server/public/dispatch.fcgi” aborted:
(first read) idle timeout (30 sec)
[Tue Dec 06 11:34:59 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.85] FastCGI:
incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server
“C:/MyApp/Server/public/dispatch.fcgi”

This is understandable given the pipe was closed but figured I would
include this information as well.

I am getting the same error, can somebody please help?
