Hello,

    I'm running a high throughput nio http client (essentially a small
webcrawler) through the apache HttpCore NIO extensions -- my code is based
largely off the sample client at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpcore/trunk/module-nio/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/nio/NHttpClient.java.



    I'm repeatedly getting the following error: "I/O dispatch worker
terminated abnormally"; it's an IOException thrown from the
'ioReactor.execute' part of the sample code mentioned above. I get it when
requesting high volumes of URLs -- it sometimes occours very quickly, or
other times won't happen for up to 10 minutes or so.

    Here's the printStackTrack output for the 'getCause()' method on the
IOexception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)


      Even though the error seems to stem from the httpcore library, I've
commented out all of my code to see if it fixes the problem -- it doesn't. I
tried upgrading from the 4.0-beta2 to the 4.0-beta3 release -- this also
does not solve the problem.

      Anyone have any ideas what this could be?


Thanks much,
