FWIW, Yesterday, on the DIY-CNC forum a user reported a broken pipes error while running the LinuxCNC Stepper Configuration software. I checked on the IRC and a fellow said he saw that error occur when he was running the latency test at the same time. The guy on the DIY-CNC forum said that was the problem that was causing the broken pipes error on his system.
