Indeed there was a race condition where TunnelAgent could begin writing
at the same time when pipe is being closed. This resulted in an
unexpected IOException, which was detected by the test.
This is purely a test issue and should not be a problem for real
applications.
Unfortunately it's hard to identify this in the test, so I decided to
weaken the test to get rid of failures.
To reproduce the failure reliably, wrap body of
'testCrash_RequestChannel_nativeRead_AfterException' in an infinite loop.
Please find the patch attached.
